Ded Ivanaj

He was born in Albania on March 5, 1947 to the late Ndue & Gjyste (Sina) Ivanaj.

Ded has always been gifted with his hands, which allowed him to excel in his career of mechanics and handyman work. At home, he extended this talent to his own garden, where he loved to maintain beauty for his family. He also loved traveling, good food & spending time with his family.

He met his wife, Katrine, in 1975 and they married each other on August 28, 1977.

Ded is survived by his loving wife, Katrine; his children, Gladiola Mihaj, Fabjon Ivanaj, and Donalda Dedaj; his grandchildren, Paris, Isabella, Victoria, Ivana, Ismaela, Itia, and Mikea; brother, Luigj; and sisters, Leze and Dielle.

Please join us for a visitation on Sunday, August 30 between the hours of 11am-3pm at Sylvan Abbey Funeral Home in Clearwater, Florida. Soon after, the Ivanaj family will escort Ded to Albania to be celebrated & buried in his home country. Details to follow…
