Dennis was a good friend before he was family, and even after I was no longer an "official Koehler," Dennis never saw me any differently! He always had a way of seeing life that I'll never forget. When we first met he was working the soda fountain at Economy Drug in 1974-75, and our first conversation was about his Al Hrabosky jersey he was wearing! Dennis---a "one-of-a-kind" awesome guy, who I will miss very much. Love and condolences to his family! I have lots of fond memories of great times with Dennis.... Rest in peace, my friend.

Barbara and Jacob, We remember the car pool days to Ben Franklin, and the dinners together before theater events. Dennis was a great Dad and we know how loved he was. All 3 of us send our love and condolences.

I will always have fond memories of Dennis and me as young boys in Boy Scouts, and as we made our way through Catholic High School. He was a good friend, and always a man of character. He left a positive mark on this world, to be sure! May God comfort the entire Koehler family and his friends during this difficult time!

We will all remember Dennis as a good Christian, husband and father. All the traits Fr. Tribou insisted we needed to sustain a great life. Our thoughts are with the Koehler family, and our prayers are lifted for Dennis. May he always dwell in the house of the Lord, and smile down upon us often ! We somehow don't keep up with each other as we should , but the brotherhood of the Class of 77' is still alive and well. God Bless you Dennis, we will miss you.

The Koehler Family: No words can express our sorrow and shock over your loss! Ken contacted me yesterday. Dennis was a member of the Little Rock Catholic High Class of 1977. He was an officer in the Marine Corps JROTC at Catholic High in which I served as well. Dennis was a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor. Dennis would bring his family to St. Edward's Church in Little Rock when he was home to visit his beloved mother and other family members. We would visit for a time and the years would melt away. The Class of 1977 has ben notified and on behalf of them I extend our thoughts and prayers to you.Dennis was highly regarded by our class as exhibited by the phone calls and emails that I have received since just yesterday. Although we may not be physically present at the services Saturday we, the Catholic High Class of 1977, will be there in spirit. May Dennis rest in the Peace of Christ! God Bless!!! Reg Rogers Catholic High Class of 1977
