Dennis was a source of strength and stability for our family, always willing to help physically, financially or otherwise. His great love for us was demonstrated by taking care of Mom, hosting barbeques, 4th of July celebrations, Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas Day festivities and building a fabulous playhouse for the nieces and nephews. He was a totally awesome son, brother, and uncle.

Dennis had lots of talents and interests: he was an artist, could sing, play the guitar and piano. He worked tirelessly in the yard, grew beautiful flowers; loved driving his red Toyota Tacoma truck but especially enjoyed playing with and walking his lab "Glory".

Dennis graduated from Edison High School in 1969, attended Oklahoma University for 3 years - became an avid OU fan; served in the Army Reserves 7 years; began a mechanical designer career at Nesco Resource; then Select Engineering and retired from Holly Frontier in 2017. He met his best friend Garry Smith and wife Myra during his career. He also attended Victory Bible Institute and had a sure faith in our Lord.

Dennis was such a kind, generous, witty, genuine person who unconditionally loved his family. He will be greatly missed as Dennis was greatly loved by us all!
