Dennis Craig Barta, born on September 13, 1958, in Detroit, Michigan, passed away on June 4, 2025, in Rockwood, Michigan, at the age of 66.

Dennis was a devoted family man who cherished the simple joys of life. He found great pleasure in the outdoors, spending countless hours hunting and fishing, pursuits that brought him peace and happiness.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Linda Barta; his cherished daughter, Sarah Ann Barta; and his grandson, Devon Thamm. He is also reunited with his parents, Joseph and Geneva Barta.

Left to honor his memory are his children: Gregory (Nina) Barta, Nancy (Matthew) Mareski, and Michelle (Ted Thamm) Barta. Dennis was a proud grandfather to 13 grandchildren and a loving great-grandfather to 10 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by three loving brothers, whose companionship he always valued.

In the hearts of those who knew and loved him, Dennis will be remembered for his warmth, generosity, and unwavering love for his family. His legacy lives on through the many lives he touched during his time with us.
