Not sure what to say?

Dene was a wonderful person that I had the privilege of collaborating with on stage. He was incredibly kind, funny, and thoughtful. I am
sorry to learn of his passing and my thoughts are with Jamie and family.

Dene and I became family when he married Jamie, but we were friends from the moment we met...he gave me my second-favorite name (Ro) in a world of confused spellings and versions of Royalyn. Dene was needed and loved by many and there will always be empty spaces in too many hearts to name....Dene, if you can hear me, tell Dan I'm okay...love you always.

Dene was one of the most helpful, kind, and extremely funny people I ever met. He was an intelligent and fascinating person. I loved him, and will miss knowing that he is in his Happy Place on Saddle drive. but knowing that he is a wonderful addition to Heaven.
