Dennis Colwell Obituary
COLWELL,
Dennis Gerald
October 19, 1945~
March 20, 2011
Dennis passed away peace-fully after a lengthy and heroic battle with cancer. Dennis was born to Harry and Marcellia Colwell. Dennis enjoyed many outdoor activities: hunting, camping, but most of all fishing with his best friends Mel and his wife Lynn. Dennis was preceded in death by his father and brothers-George, James, Patrick, Michael, and Richard. Dennis is survived by his mother and stepfather Marcellia and Robert Matthews; bothers: Harry (wife Pam), Tom (wife Sherry); sisters: Mary (Terry), Beverly (Bob), and Linda (John), many nieces and nephews.
Remembering you is easy. We do it every day. Missing you is the hardest part, as it never goes away. To hear your voice to see your smile to sit with you and talk awhile - would be our greatest wish. Today- tomorrow our whole life through- we shall always remember you. Your loving family!
You will be greatly missed by everyone you touched, including your dog Black Jack!
A private family Committal will take place at a later date.
