Dennis C. Hobt Sr.

Dennis C. Hobt, 78, of Bellevue, KY, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2025, at St.
Elizabeth Hospice Edgewood, KY. He was born April 20, 1947, to the late Charles and
Francis (nee Bryson) Hobt in Dayton, KY. Dennis retired as an account manager with
Graeters, Coca-Cola, and Keebler. He was preceded in death by his loving spitfire of a
wife, Sandy (nee McGarrell) Hobt, his parents, sister Sherry Kues, and sister Barbara
Woosley. Dennis is survived by his son Dennis (Jody) Hobt II, daughter Nicole (Shane)
Miller, son Jeff Olliges, daughter Jennifer Olliges, and daughter Michelle Ritchason. He
is also survived by his grandchildren Justin, Ashley, Skylar, Caleb, Kaitlin, Ben, Taylor,
and Max. As well as two great grandchildren, Lorelei and Ryleigh. And we must not
forget his faithful furry friend, Paco.
Paco was his trusty little companion that he and his granddaughter Skylar, or "Burger"
as he called her, picked out together. You could usually catch Dennis enjoying a nice
cold Coca-Cola while watching a western or MASH on repeat, with Paco in his lap. He
enjoyed many hobbies throughout his life; including bowling, hanging out with friends
and family playing cornhole, and traveling with his sons every year to watch UK
compete in the SEC Tournament. He loved spending time with his kids and grandkids
on the family camping trips that Sandy would arrange, and he enjoyed passing the time
with a pole in the water. Dennis was quite the baller when he was younger, having his
accolades showcased in the paper often. He was a man of many nicknames including,
Denny, papaw, peepaw, and grumppaw. He loved finding a new dad joke every day,
and we will miss him terribly. Visitation is from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, Friday October 10,
2025, at Dobbling, Muehlenkamp-Erschell Funeral Home, Bellevue. Funeral Service
will immediately follow at Dobbling, Muehlenkamp-Erschell Funeral Home with, Rev. Mike Sweeny officiating.
