Dennis Alan Eblen "Pops", was one of kind, and will be deeply missed. Born Jan 29th, 1953 and passed away peacefully at home on Aug 11th, 2025 at the age of 72. He was preceded in death by his father Donald, brother Dallas, and sister in law Emily.

Dennis was known for his quick wit, sharp one liners, and always knowing the right move to make. He was loved and cherished by many but nobody more than his grandsons Nathan and Nicholas.

Dennis enjoyed many professions over the years, flooring and tile in his youth, was a car salesman for 35 years before semi retiring in 2019, but continued to help those in need through his bail bonds company Eblen Bail Bonds.

Dennis is survived by his mother Juanita Eblen (99), daughter Marchelle (Michael) Gonzales, grandsons Nathan and Nicholas Bertrand, and nephew Charlie (Allison) Eblen.
