Dennis Crane Obituary
Dennis Crane, age 78, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, passed away on December 3, 2025, at Bradley Health Care.
Born on November 23, 1947, in Bridgeton, Maine, Dennis was a proud high school graduate whose natural talent and determination made him an Olympic-caliber runner. He was also highly skilled in tree cutting, a craft he mastered over many years. Dennis enjoyed the outdoors, especially camping, and found joy in his fishing in later years.
He is survived by his loving wife, Gail; sisters, Lorraine and Christine; brothers, Daryl, Terry, Francis, and Herbie; his children, Dennis, Bronica, Minnie, and Mary; his step-children, Sonya, Cathy, Eugene, Crystal, Shane; as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will carry his memory forward.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Companion Funeral Home is honored to assist the Crane family.
2412 Georgetown Rd NW P.O. Box 5057, Cleveland, TN 37311
