Dennis Hopping Obituary
2/9/1952 - 1/13/2020
Dennis Hopping unexpectedly passed away Jan. 13th from heart failure, one week prior to having heart surgery. He was 67. Born in Michigan, grew up in Fremont and graduated from Kennedy HS in 1970. Raised his family in Livermore and continued his craft and profession as machinist, tool and die maker. Later started his own business, Advanced Machine Tool. He lived in Jerome, Idaho the past twelve years continuing his passion working on machinery, motors, motorcycles and his two treasured boats. He could fix anything. He was an avid craftsman. He was a very proud and private man, who never asked for help but always willing to lend a hand. He leaves behind his son Devin, daughter Katelin (Pereira) and three grandchildren. Dennis had a big heart and will forever be missed and not forgotten!!

I met Dennis twenty years ago. He was a quiet man but sweet once we both warmed-up to each other. And enjoyed his advise when I asked his about cars. Loved all the family gathering, we were part of. Rest In Peace and Prayers for the family.

Dennis was my father in law; but he treated me as a daughter from the time we met. He had such a kind heart and is missed dearly. He was one of my go to calls when his hopping genetics were driving me crazy. He would always laugh and share a story bout my husband or himself in their youth. He always had a way of making it better. He taught my husband a lot about mechanics and machining and those Hopping genetics are strong ones. He will live on within his kids and grandkids. Thank you for shaping my husband into the man he is today. You will never be forgotten! ❤
