He was born in Fort Worth, Texas on January 20, 1956 to the late Joe D. Herrington and Wilma Hamilton. Reared and educated in Texas and Arkansas, he had been a resident of Malvern since 1977. He was a faithful member and attendee, when his health permitted, of Anchor Baptist Church at Brown Springs. Dennis was a member of the Moose Lodge, loved being outdoors, and was an avid hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed being in his shop reloading bullets, woodworking, and other handyman activities. For a number of years he was a foreman with Acme Brick.
He is survived by his wife, Margaret Williams Herrington, to whom he was married on January 14, 1977; by three daughters, Vanessa Briner and her husband, Dylan of Malvern; Staci Elizabeth Herrington of Malvern; and Audrey Lee Herrington of San Diego, California; four grandchildren, Jenna and Jada Joynt, Sophie Roark, and Elizabeth Briner; and by two sisters, Alene Penner and her husband, Dan, and Janet Zulpo, all of Wye Mountain.
Dennis was also preceded in death by his step-mother, Sybil Herrington, brother-in-law, Freddie Zulpo, and a brother, Joe D. Herrington, Jr.
The family will have a memorial service at a later date.
