Michael Dennison Obituary
Michael "Mike" Eric Dennison
May 14, 1965 - Aug. 7, 2022
AUBURN - On August 7, 2022, heaven got a new angel, Michael "Mike" Eric Dennison.
Mike is survived by his loving parents, Bert "Jerry" and Ursula "Uschi" Dennison of Tyler, TX; his bossy but caring sister, Andrea "Andi" Price; and his pal and brother-in-law, Arthur "Art" Price of Auburn; his two nephews: Nick Price of Syracuse and Chris (Elizabeth) Price of Deptford, NJ; his beloved dog, Oprah, who was his constant companion and adored him.
Mike was born on May 14, 1965 in Stillwater, OK and lived in various places in Oklahoma and Texas. Most recently, he moved to Auburn, NY in 2019 to be closer to his sister and family. Mike was a friend to all and always had a kind work to say. He loved watching his New York sports teams especially in hockey, football, and baseball. Mike loved movies, the scary ones, being his favorites, and loved listening to rock music, especially heavy metal. He enjoyed going to garage sales and haggling for great bargains.
Calling hours are this Sunday (today), August 14 2022, from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. in the Pettigrass Funeral Home, 196 Genesee St., Auburn. A graveside service will be held Monday morning, August 15, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. in Fort Hill Cemetery.
Mike will be dearly missed by his friends and family and the world will be less bright without him. In lieu of flowers, please do an act of kindness for someone in Mike's memory.

I also am a Centro driver and shared Mikes company nearly daily. He was comical at times and left me chuckling but also very appreciative of our service, always thanking us, and cordial . To Michael's family, please know he he will be remembered fondly and I am truly pained over his situation.

Mike rode my bus often. He was a kind sole who was always friendly and always eager to follow what was asked of him. I will always remember his words when he entered the bus. 'My prayers have been answered Emma...you know ... my prayers have been answered because I asked for one of my favorites!' He enjoyed riding the bus with most of us and we enjoyed seeing him. We will miss seeing him on the bus. What a tragedy! I extend my deepest sympathies to Mikes family.
