~ Semper Fi ~
Dennis Michael Howcroft, 70, passed away peacefully, leaving a legacy of love, laughter, and adventure. A proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Dennis served his country with honor and carried that same dedication throughout his life.
An avid fisherman and hunter, he found joy and peace in the outdoors-sharing countless moments in nature with family and friends.
Dennis is survived by his siblings David (Laura), Karen, Dale, and Darrell; nephews Mateo (Angelique), Nicholas, Xavier, Enzo, and Theo; and nieces Victoria (Aiden) and Hadley. He will be remembered for his generous spirit, sharp wit, and unwavering loyalty.
A visitation and service will be held Wednesday, November 12, 2025 3:00 - 8:00 p.m. with a 6:30 p.m. Rosary, at Wasik Funeral Home - Gendernalik Chapel to honor his life and memory.
Instate 10:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. Mass, Thursday, November 13, 2025 at St. Mary Queen of Creation Church.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Mary Food Pantry.
"Once a Marine, always a Marine."
