Dennis was my workmate at Ford and my fishing buddy. He could tell the most wonderful stories with his good natured and funny personality. My wife Judy and I loved spending time with Dennis and Brenda in Destin. He was a wonderful soul and such a Godly inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. The Lord has gained a fisherman of men.

Our children grew up together as we were neighbors for fifteen years. We all loved the Brantley family. If you were around Dennis, you were laughing. He could tell you a story and you would hear it a few times and it would always make you laugh. Danny and Dennis co-coached the LS Phillies for four years. A lot of stories were made during that time. Dennis was also gifted in handyman work. Dennis was a great person and all that knew him loved him.
Brenda, Mike, Gina´s all the family - we are so sorry for your loss but you have the wonderful memories that you will always have. Dennis is now in the presents of his Lord and Saviour.
