Dennis Oliver Obituary
Dennis Wilford Oliver, born August 23, 1951 and died Saturday morning the 13th of November 2010 of heart failure at age 59.
He is survived by his four children: Robert, Ebboni, Anna, and Jeremy; his four grandchildren: Connor, Ethan, Nathan, and Kailey; loving girlfriend Ria; brother Randy; and sisters Kae and Shareen.
He spent his first years of his adult life serving his country in the United States Army and finished out the rest of his life doing something he really loved, driving big rigs.
Dennis was an amazing father and an even better grandfather. He loved taking his grandsons on rides in his big rig and they just adored their Grandpa Dennis. He has been a consistent shoulder to lean on and a very big part of our lives. If you told him that you needed him or wanted him around, he was there in the blink of an eye. He was always willing to give what he didn't have, even if it meant he had to work one hundred times more (if that was even possible). If you knew Dennis, you knew that he never stopped working and never stopped giving. He has always been a constant light in our lives and will continue to brighten our hearts now that he is gone. He is already sorely missed. God obviously took him cause he needed another Angel at his side. We love you Dennis!
Memorial to be held at 1:00pm on Friday, November 19th at Margo Dodd Park in Pismo Beach with a reception following at Brad's Restaurant in Pismo. Arrangements are under the direction of Lori Family Mortuary in Santa Maria.

Our condolences to Dennis' friends and family. We are glad we had the chance to meet him and spend some time with him during a trip with Ria to San Francisco a few years ago. He was so kind to our 2 boys, and even surprised them with toys to play with. He will be missed.
