To all Dennis's friends and family I pray comfort and pleasant rememberences. The entire High Drifter paintball team will forever be indebted to Dennis for his kind and overwhelming support of our tournament and team efforts. He went far beyond normal business practices and took a huge loss in monetary measure to give us the opportunity to compete on a national level and equipped us privateers the means to challenge well monied industry teams. Dennis was a winner by every measure. Gods Speed Denny.

Dennis was a man with unbelievable dedication to customer service. He personally oversaw the total conversions of six SMG60's into 68 Specials that set our team up for tournament play. Back in the day that few remember when paintball tournament play was born. His attention and support at a critical time leaves all the members of the HIGH DRIFTERS paintball team with immense gratitude for his generosity.

Denny was God loving and with a big heart. He's been a great friend since 2007. He's been a parent to many and so generous. Read Matthew 25: 31-46. He's with Lord.
Offering Holy Masses for eternal good of his soul and for the recovery of Mary. As a family may the Lord be your comforter in this trying moment. May the Lord grant unto Denny eternal rest and may perpetual light shine upon him. Rest in peace Denny.

I met Danny in 1995 when my Paintball Team was looking for help with converting our SMG 60's to semi autos for tournament competition. Dennys personally handled the process and set us up with the best guns and customer service I have ever experienced. He went beyond anything we could have expected in helping us and I have never seen his match in concern for his customers. Gods speed Denny.
