October 13, 1980 – September 14, 2025
Dinko Keranov, 44, Fishers, passed away on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. He was born on October 13, 1980, to Mitko and Elka Keranov in Yambol, Bulgaria.
Dinko enjoyed listening to music, watching movies, playing games, making people laugh, working out, sports, cooking, fishing, and dancing. He had a great sense of humor and was always the life of the party. Humble, content, and genuine, Dinko was never afraid to be himself – he was always authentic and real. Dinko liked to learn about things, whether it was history, nature, mathematics, food, computers, fixing cars, repairing the house, or understanding how the body works – he was so intelligent, and he took joy in his interests. Dinko had a charming smile, long eyelashes, and an infectious laugh, and he was a master storyteller – nobody could tell a story or a joke as good as Dinko. He was fun and witty, yet also enjoyed having thoughtful conversations about life. Dinko met his wife while taking a work trip to Seattle, and after they married in Bulgaria, they lived in Washington State for 18 years before moving to Fishers in 2024. Dinko loved his wife and children more than anything – nothing made him more proud or happy than his family, and he was loved deeply by his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife, Debbie Keranova; daughters, Susan Keranova (16), Megan Keranova (13), Lauren Keranova (11), all of Fishers; father, Mitko Keranov; mother, Elka Keranov of Moses Lake, Wash.; sister, Angelina (Dimitar) Mandevska of Moses Lake, Wash.; nephew, Vasko Mandevski of Bellevue, Wash.; niece, Ellie Mandevska of Moses Lake, Wash.; in-laws, Curt (Barb) Hornaday of Moses Lake, Wash.; and his uncle, Jeko Jekov of Bulgaria.
Graveside Services will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, September 19, 2025, at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens, 9700 Allisonville Road, in Indianapolis.
