A man of quiet wisdom and boundless love.
Dennis lived with grace, offering strength and support to his beloved wife Bobbi, his children Dan, Sheana and Derek. His daughter-in-law Chloe and his eight beautiful grandchildren Shealee, Micheal Jr., Senna, Sondra, Cailynn, Shawn, Callie, and Charlotte.
Though our hearts are broken, we carry his teachings in us- gifts of patience, compassion, and steady love.
He was the wisest of men, and his legacy will forever guide us. He was one of the good ones.
