HARRIS _ Dennis Maxwell It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our cherished son and brother on December 23, 2006. Dennis died peacefully at home in his sleep. He was born at Estevan Point, B.C. on July 20, 1957. Dennis went to Tupper High School. He will be remembered and deeply missed by his father Len, mother Karin, stepfather Doug, sister Barbara (Paul), brother, David and his niece, Holly. Dennis was a wonderful father to the light of his life, his daughter, Haylee. She was a real joy in his life. He leaves countless bereft aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Dennis loved cars and motorcycles from the time he was very young. As he grew older he started painting cars at various body shops around the lower mainland and painted motorcycles on the side. Dennis was an artist and did his own designs. He has received numerous awards for his work. He recently started his own business. Panzer Airbrush Ltd. and had his bike, "The Joker" on the cover of Biker Magazine, October 2006 edition. Dennis really enjoyed life. He will be sadly missed by his family and his many, many friends. At Dennis's request, a private service will be held by immediate family only. There will be a Celebration of Dennis's Life to be ann ounced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Children's Hospital would be greatly appreciated.

Len, and Family.
The celebration of life for Dennis was excellent, It is amazing how many lives he touched and impacted. The people that I had not seen in so long and the ones that that I had no idea of a connection was amazing. He was truly a wonderful person and will be missed greatly.
Though it has been many years since we had seen each other Dennis seemed to pop in to conversation frequently with tales of his escapades.
My prayers go out to all.

Dear Cousin, Although it's been many years since I've seen you, I'll always remember your smiling face, sense of humour, and your caring nature. To me, you were always just another brother.

Heartfelt sympathy to the entire family of a man who was equally kind and gentle on the inside as he "appeared" rough and tough on the outside. Dennis had class and was a good example to many. He will be missed.

Len, David and Family,

I know there is a huge void in your life and I am incredibly sorry for your loss. I always remember the time I first met Dennis in your office Len and Jones, Gable in the early 80's. He was always a blast at the sofball games and always great fun.

Take care,

Shelley Kirk, Vancouver, B.C.

Dear Barb,Len and family
I was very upset to hear of the passing of Dennis. What a shock. I remember Dennis as a kid growing up with him on James St. and Wolfe school, partying with all the boys at Tupper. Dennis was always a character and had a great sense of humour, we will all miss him. Thinking of your family at this time and your loss. My deepest condolences.

Dennis, You took me to Olympic Gym for the first time and introduced me to a new lifestyle and a great family of people. Many of those are still part of my life. We shared many good years. Lots of great memories. Thank you.

It is with great sadness that I learned today of Dennis' passing. There was a time when Dennis was my life, my love, my friend and though we parted ways many years ago, he is and always will be in my heart.

Words cannot express my heartfelt sympathy to all of Dennis' family. He will be dearly missed.

What sad,sad news. I knew Dennis for 30 years and even though we didn't see each other often in these past few years, we never missed a beat and picked up where we left off. We always had great fun, and enjoyed each other's company alot.
My condolences to the family.

I will miss you Dennis, till we meet again.

i am so saddened by Dennis's passing. He and I were the best of friends although we hadn't been that interactive in the last few years. We had so many laughs together. I'm going to miss him but will never forget him.

Dennis, we shared a lot of good times together, and though we didn't see as much of each other lately, like true good friends, we just picked up where we left off. Thanks for phoning me to come over just two weeks before you left us, at least I had a chance to spend some time with you. Sadly, there isn't anymore picking up where we left off, just good memories that I'll never forget.
