Obituary published on Legacy.com by Phipps-Dale Funeral Chapel - Lemoore on Mar. 11, 2026.
Dennis Harry Clabeaux, a loving husband, devoted father, cherished grandfather, and proud servant of his country and his faith, passed away peacefully surrounded by family and his beloved bride of 59 years Linda Lee Clabeaux on March 8, 2026, at the age of 82.

Born on July 30, 1943, in Buffalo New York, Dennis dedicated his life to service, integrity, and love. He answered the call to serve his country through the United States Navy, where he committed himself with honor, discipline, and unwavering patriotism. His time in the Naval Service shaped his character-instilling loyalty, resilience, and a deep sense of duty that he carried with him throughout his life.

A man of strong faith, Dennis served the Lord with humility and compassion. Whether through his church community, acts of kindness, or the quiet example he set every day, he lived his beliefs in a way that inspired others. His faith was a cornerstone of his life, and his devotion was evident in the way he loved, forgave, guided, and uplifted those around him.

Above all else, Dennis loved his family. He was a steady and supportive husband, a proud and loving father, and a joyful grandfather who found his greatest happiness in watching his family grow. His gentle wisdom, warm humor, and unwavering support will forever be treasured by those who were blessed to know him.

He is survived by his: children Wendy, Glenn and Marc; grandchildren Kelly, Tanner, Kaitlin, Emily, Lydea; great-grandchildren Adessa, Ayden, Brysen, Waylen, Stetsen and Barrett and his brothers Alan and Terry and sister Lynn.

A celebration of Dennis's life will be held on March 17, 2026, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Lemoore, with visitation beginning at 10:00a.m., followed by service at 11:00 a.m., and Military Honor Burial at Lemoore Cemetery. Following the burial, a luncheon will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Lemoore, the family invites guests to join them for food, fellowship, and continued remembrance.

His legacy of love, courage, and devotion will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
