Dennis Jay Calles

Calles family I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I still remember Dennis and Mokie running around the soccer field before all of our games. They were hilarious. I pray that God has given you all the peace that surpass all understanding. I am so sorry for your loss. I apologize that I am just finding this out. I haven't been back home in a while. Take care and God bless.

Dennis, I am sorry to hear you had passed and I am sorry we did not keep in touch. You were such a great guy and amazing father. My family will miss you.

Dennis-my husband's namesake-we just still can't imagine that when we visit, you won't be there. We pray for your entire family, for their hearts to be healed and to know that you are at peace, just watching over and wanting them to all Live Life, remember all the good times, and laugh. We often talk of different things that happened with you kids, and, we miss you, too. Distance doesn't change the love we feel for your family. We will all be together in just a wink of God's eye. Give your Mom lots of little "hugs".

Just finished reading the water meter at your family's place on Watson. Last Saturday made 3 years. Miss you, Lil Homie.

Dennis, I think of you every day of my life.... I will never be able to say how much I miss you. my life will never be complete without you here . I hope you hear me every time I talk to you and know that I love you so much. You were such an amazing person and I hope you know how many lives you touched. I love you lil brother and hope you are still here with all of us.

Not a day that goes by that I dont wish we were little kids again....laughing, playing, causing headaches for Mom and Dad, or just being a family once again. I miss you my little brother.

Not a day that goes by that I wish that God will bring you back to us. I love you my little brother.

Hey D...
I have been thinking about you soooo much lately. I was looking at a photo album of you the other day and it was a bitter sweet moment. It made me smile to see what a great character you were and at the same time it made me sad that I will never see you again.
Your family misses and loves you so much and it is so hard to see the pain in their hearts. I wish you were still here with us today D. Even though you are gone, I know that you will continue to watch over all of us and keep us strong. Please visit me in my dreams soon. I want to hug my soon-to-be brother and tell him that I love him and will take good care of his lil bro.

You will always be in my heart.

myprayer go to the family

Oh son, I don't know what to say other than my heart is broken. I miss you so much. I don't know how to go on without one of my children. All I know is that I have to. God still has a plan for me. I can't imagine what it could be, but I do know he has a plan for all of us. I am so sorry that I couldn't stop your pain. I should have called you from work. I kept telling myself to but decided to wait until after work. It was too late. I will have to deal with the thought that I could have talked to you one more time. I could have held you and tried to ease your pain. I am so sorry. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful son. I so wished that he would have given me more time with you. I am so proud of the wonderful man you were. You were stubborn, but you knew what you wanted. You always did. I am so proud that my son was such a hard working, loving father. You loved the kids so much. They love and miss you so much. I will always be there for them. They are part of you. You know how much I love you. I miss your big smile, your laugh and yes, even your tat's. What I wouldn't do to see them again. My heart will forever ache until I see you again. I pray God will take you under his wing and keep you until I am with you again. I love you son. I miss you son. No goodbye's. I will see you again. Be at peace now. Love, Mom

I haven't known what to say. And I have to admit that I still don't know what to say. What I do know is when I think of Dennis, I think of a loving, kind, caring, catering, very generous macho family member. I always remember him spoiling his sisters. I can picture him messin around with Smokey and Mokey on Easter at Reid park. I can still see him taking care of Kenny like he was his own son. I see his beautiful, contaigous smile. Dennis always was excited to see me and always welcomed me to his home. Being a provider for his family was so important to him and I think of how he always was working to better himself and take care of his family that he always was so very proud of. Every time I ran into him, he had a new skill under his belt and had some project going where he was using that new skill at. An energy ran thru him that was amazing to witness. To his wife, I ask that you would teach your children that there is no challenge, no difficulty too big for God. That they would know to turn to God and wait paitiently for God to do His works. Roxanne, Smokey, Monica, Candice, & Mokey I love all of you so much and I am so sorry. My prayer is that you will find the peace beyond all understanding in this hurtful season of your lives. Thank you Dennis for being you. Thank you for the smile you will always put on my face when I think of you. Even while writing this I smiled at every memory of your character and what you did accomplish during your time here on Earth. I know you are at peace now. Good Bye, I love you. Your cousin Laura

I was shocked to hear about Dennis' passing and I am sorry for your loss. I knew him in elementary and middle school, but haven't seen him since then. I had a dream about him with his family the week of his passing. All I remember is that everyone was together in the dream, no one was sad or upset. What's strange about the dream is that I did not know anything had happened to Dennis until a few days later when a friend of mine mentioned that he had seen his name in the obituaries. That was a Monday and my dream was some time the previous week, maybe Wednesday or Thursday. I figure it happened around the time he had passed. I don't know what it all means, but I thought you should know. My heart goes out to you guys.

I am so shocked and saddened by your loss. I will always remember Dennis...He was such a character in middle school, and was a shining star on the field. He made my teaching days memorable...I pray you find strength at such a sad time. My prayers go out to the entire family.

Roxanne, Monica, Candice and Mokey,
I;m so sorry for your loss. I just can't beleive it. If there is anything that you may need please just ask.

Dennis you are very much missed... Wish the best for your Wife and kids... Hope your family is doing good... in our thoughts!

Roxanne, you obviously raised a kind, caring, loving man. It is a testament to the kind of man he was by how many people showed up to pay their respects. Our prayers and prayers of other that you don't know are with you and your entire family. Hold tight to the precious memories and to Dennis's beautiful children. They are his legacy. We love you! Sam & Megan Mowday

Every time we bumped into Dennis, he had a sparkle in his eye and a big hug & smile for us. Those who knew him will never forget him. Dennis sudden and untimely passing has affected us all deeply.

Words can't express what I feel right now--You have always been a great friend to me. Our lives took us down different paths and we drifted apart.

Calles family, My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. I am so sorry for your loss and words cannot express how sorry I am. It seemed like yesterday Dennis was a little boy. I know he is with our Heavenly father and you will be able to see him again some day. If you guys need anything please let me know. I love you all.
Jean Bennett

It's hard to find the right words to express what a tragedy this is. I am just so sorry for every one who's hurting because of this loss, especially the kids.
This is all so sad.

Dennis Your Grandfather is missing youso much. He could always depend on you. and he was always pleased when you called him for help. We so appreciated that you shared your babies with us. We love you and will miss you so much. Be with God and find peace. Love Grampa and Grama Sherie.

I have no words for what has happened other than God has taken you away too soon. Ill miss your big smile and our little boys comparing who"s dad is the best and toughest. Or you and Roy comparing who has the biggest truck! You can now be a guardian angel for your family and protect them with Gods Hands. I love you Dennis and will miss you alot. Aunt Dusty

To the Calles Family ,
Dennis you will be missed . We had some fun times . My heart goes out to everyone .

He’s in a better place right now
Than he’s ever been before
All pain is gone he’s now at rest
Nothing troubles him anymore.

It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.

We know we’ll reconnect with him
At the end of each life’s road
We’ll see his cherished face again

We love you lots ,
The Lucas Family

I have no words for what has happened, other than God took you away too soon. Ill miss your big smile and us yelling at our little boys about whos dads the best. Or you and Roy comparing who has the biggest truck. I love you and will miss you. You can be your loved one guardian angel and protect them with Gods hands.

Dennis you will be greatly missed by everyone you came into contact with. It's been since high school since I last spoke to you but I still remember all the good times we had. I was left speechless when I learned of your passing. I pray that God gives your family strength through this tragic time and know that you're not gone you will always be with them. My thoughts and prayers are with all you! May God Bless!

My heart goes out to the Calles family may God bless you all in this time of sorrow.

To the Calles Family,

Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all.

James, Terri, Daniel & Nick Carter

Embrace all the memories and loved ones around you and never let a moment go by without telling your loved ones how you feel. You will always be in our hearts! We too have great memories of our times together.
Jeri, Richard & Alyssa San Jose & George, Luz & Curtis Moore

Dennis , we miss you greatly. We were just starting something exciting , being able to coach our sons together. We will cherish the memories of when we were back in High School and recently when we watched our kids interact. You have such a beautiful family. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We miss you!

To the Calles family -- may your love for Dennis and happy memories of him give you strength and comfort today and always.

Dennis, we miss you greatly we were just starting something very exciting, being able to Coach our sons together in football. We will cherish the memories of when we were young in High School and then recently when we realized how fun it was to see our children running around like we did when we were young. You and your family is in our hearts and prayers.

DNice, I don't even know what to say or where to start other than ima miss u homeboy, since you've gone away I constantly find myself reminiscing about all kinds of good memorys we had. You were a great friend and I appreciated every thing you ever did for me.. one of the things that people will most remember you for is you always being there to give a helping hand when your friends needed it.. from the first time we met we had a lot in common and were a lot alike witch led us to be as thick as thiefs, I can proudly say you were one of bestfriends and the closest friend I had this past year, and even though your gone you will never be forgotten... I know your in a good place and I know your watchin down on all of us and some day will meet again. So this ain't goodbye, this is ill see you later, untill then ill miss ya brotha!

My heart goes out to Dennis and the Calles family. Many of us grew up going to school together and share many memories with Dennis. It's hard to understand why these things happen but what I do know is that the memories left behind can never be taken away and can be cherished our hearts forever. May God touch his family in this time of grievance and may he rest in peace.

Dennis you were a great friend. we have had so many awesome memories! All the times we went riding quads, campimg and boating at Apache Lake , to fishing for marlin and jumping waves in San Carlos. you were always there to lend a hand,and a shoulder to lean on. you rescued Anthony and Jaydenn from bullies . you used to tease AJ that you were going to steal his SO CAL beanie, you would try to scare Lauren but only make her laugh.You introduced me to youre family and friends and made me feel like a brother.Our families are so close I hope they stay that way. Lot's of great times ! We will miss you rest in peace my friend! I'll see you in heaven

To my best friend Dennis and for his family,
From the day we met that 1st day of junior high school and through the years, good and bad times, we always managed to keep our friendship strong. Whenever I needed you, you were there. Wish you were here, I could use your strength now.

We can not say good-bye to you for we have grown to love, for the memories we have made will last a lifetime and never know a good-bye. Thank you for being a brother and a friend to us both. We only wish we could have done more. We know you will be watching down. We miss you every day and will never forget.

Many years have passed, but you have and always will be in my mind and my heart. I remember when you gave me that teddy bear, you know what I'm talking about, and I cherished it and took it with me everywhere... i took it camping and dropped it in the fire...quickly picked it up, brushed it off, and cried all night long...When I told you about it once I got back you laughed and bought me a new one... One of many young memories...memories are sacred and what we have to hold on to, thank you for memories Dennis. May you watch over the ones left behind, guide them, and give them peace. God Bless!

Dear Jim and Roxanne. We were so sorry to hear about Dennis' death. This Rhonda and Harvey McPheron and we lost our 32 year old son in 1995 in the same way. We have also known the Zandau family for almost 40 years.

We can say we know how you feel and I'm not going to say that it will get better. The hugh hole and feeling of loss will stay with you forever but the pain will lessen and good and fun times will again make you laugh!

So sorry that you have to endure this unbelievable hurt.

Love, Rhonda and Harvey McPheron

Here's to red cards and good times. You will be missed.

Dennis,
You were always strong willed and had a mind of your own, even when you were just a baby. You always did things your way and Its those little things that made you who you were. But most of all honey you were the greatest Dad and wonderful nephew, I just wish I had of told you more. I lay awake at night and I can see that big grin of yours and hear that deep laugh like you are right here. My heart aches for you and longs to have you here just to touch you. I miss you so much and wish I had one more day with you to tell you how much I love you. Rest in Peace and watch over all of us. I love you my little Dennis the Menace.

Dennis, you now sit with GOD where everybody want to be. You will be truely missed.
Brian Blakely

Dennis,

I thought I would be able to see you again on Earth but I know now that I must wait until the after life. I am so blessed to have met you and grew up with you. I miss you so very much. Rest in peace my friend.

Jim, Roxanne, Monique, Kaitlyn, Jaydenn, and Maysen,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family. He was like a brother to Isaiah and will be missed.

God Bless all of you!!!

May you rest in Peace...

Roxanne,
Oh hon I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers go out to you and the family. May God keep you in the palm of his hands. I love you!!!!
Your cousin,
Ilene Montoya

Jim,

I am so saddened to hear about Dennis. My heart and prayers are with you.

Dear Dennis, I'm so blessed to have gotten the chance to know you.. And I know your watching over us. We love you so much Dennis. You were a Great Father and a wonderful friend to us. You will always have a special place in my heart.. Fly High Dennis.. We miss you soo much! Goodbye good friend.. May you rest in peace.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Santa Rita Class of 1999 ~ Rest in Peace, our friend!
