Hopia, Dennis Jon "Denny" Went home to be with His Lord on March 22nd at the age of 66. He was preceded in death by his parents, Brandol & Isla Hopia. Survived by his wife, Judy (Beug); daughter, Kristin (Brian) Couser; & son, Jay D.

Denny's many interests included his love for Boating, Hockey, Harley's, Hot Rods & Hunting, but his greatest pride was the love of his family. For over 40 years, Denny's passion for sales was in the Millwork, Door and Window industry. He made many great friends along the way. He proudly served his country in the 82nd Airborne Division and was also proud of his 32nd Degree Mason where he was a member of the Wayzata Masonic Lodge & the Zuhrah Shrine. A celebration of Denny's life will be held on Saturday, March 26th at 11 AM, Christ Lutheran Church in Maple Plain with visitation Friday 5-8 PM Huber Funeral Home Excelsior.

Judy - I always enjoyed coming over and chatting with you and Denny ... He was always such a good guy. To those of us in the neighborhood we would know is was spring when Denny would get his hot rod out and polish it up or hear his Harley go down the street. Hopia Family your in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Hopia/Couser families:

Our deepest sympathy to all. Denny was a man that you didn't need to spend a lot of time with to feel like you knew him for years. We are blessed to have gotten to know him and are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers at this time of loss.

My sympathy to Dennis' family. Dennis and I were classmates through high school. Dennis was a great swimmer. He could stay underwater for a long time. I always tried to do the same but couldn't.
We, his high school classmates, will miss not seeing him at class reunions. Our prayers are with Dennis, his wife, Judy and all his family. May God send his peace to all members of Dennis' family.

I am very sorry for your loss. I am fortunate to have known Denny for many years both in work as well as play and will certainly miss his smile, humor and the positive way he approached everything. A truly great person!
