Dennis Reiss Obituary
Dennis K. Reiss, 68, of Coopersburg Borough, Lehigh County, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 12, 2025, at his residence, surrounded by his loving family. Dennis was the beloved husband of Cherelynn (Yaich) Reiss, with whom he shared 38 years of marriage.
Born in Bethlehem on August 20, 1957, Dennis was the son of the late Kermit Harvey Reiss and Virginia Dare (Donnely) Reiss. He was a hardworking man who spent 25 years as a heavy equipment operator with New Enterprise (Eastern Industries), retiring after a dedicated career marked by pride in his work and strong work ethic.
Dennis had a deep love for the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman, passions that brought him great enjoyment and many lasting memories with family and friends.
In addition to his devoted wife, Dennis is survived by his children, Jeanine N. Reiss (Brad K. Hunsicker) of Lehighton and Justin N. Reiss (Monica) of Coopersburg; his siblings, Bonnie Ehritz (Tom) of Coopersburg, Rita Rumfield of Laurys Station, Nancy Bauer of Center Valley, Terry Reiss (Jan) of Pottstown, and Donna DeSautels (John) of Center Valley; and his cherished three granddaughters, Libbie, JaSoulynn, and Amayah, who were the light of his life. He was predeceased by his sister, Susan Cicon.
Dennis had requested his service to be private. Arrangements are entrusted to Heintzelman Funeral Home, Inc., Hellertown. To share an expression of sympathy with the family, please visit www.heintzelmancares.com.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Luke’s Hospice, 240 Union Station Plaza, 1st Floor, Bethlehem, PA 18015.
Dennis will be remembered for his dedication to family, love of the outdoors, and the quiet strength he carried throughout his life.
