Dennis graduated high school at the age of 17 and joined the United States Air Force, where he served honorably for eight years as a Military Police Officer; first being stationed in Germany, then Florida and eventually San Antonio where he retired and made his home. Dennis touched many hearts and will be dearly missed by all.

My dear brother Dennis. You were such a good son,brother,husband,father and friend. I have so much respect and love for you. If only the human race had more of your kindness,loyaly and beliefs this world would be a much better place. Your never wavering stance on what you believed in became a fight for some against you. You were anti drug and never backed down. Determined not to become an enabler. I commend you for that as I know how difficult it was for you to stand your ground , yet still love Unconditionally. I will always miss you and look forward to our reunion in the sky. Ever loving,ever loyal sister, Sallie. 7/20/17 ❤ PEACE BE WITH YOU NOW BROTHER! ❤
