Barry Paul Savransky, 67, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer at his home in Atlanta, Ga., surrounded by his loving family. Born on July 25, 1957, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Morris and Terry Savransky, Barry was a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend whose warmth and love touched everyone he met.
Barry attended Ohio State University and graduated with a degree in communications from Cleveland State University.

For more than 25 years, Barry excelled as an executive recruiter, specializing in hospice and homecare, helping countless people find their dream jobs while providing care and compassion along the way.
Barry was a man who held his family closest to his heart. He was a proud and enthusiastic supporter of his children’s endeavors, a devoted lover of family pets, an avid tinkerer with DIY projects, and a passionate baseball fan who cheered on the Braves with unwavering loyalty. With his genuine kindness and magnetic personality, Barry had an extraordinary ability to make everyone feel valued and special. He consistently put others before himself, exemplifying generosity and love in every aspect of his life.
Barry is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years, Kim; his children, Megan Savransky, Brandon Savransky, and Ashley (Steve) Hazel; his brother, Alan (Ceci) Savransky; his nephew, Michael Savransky; his niece, Ally (Walker) McKenzie; and numerous cousins. He was preceded in death by his dear parents, Terry Turner (Bubbie) and Morris Savransky (Poppy Moe – PM).
