Dennis Overton Obituary
Mr. Dennis Copeland Overton, 52, of Brooksville, FL, husband of 29 years to Heidi Grandey Overton, passed away on Monday, November 28, 2022.
Dennis was born in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on October 13, 1970, son of the late Dallas Edward Overton, Sr. and Linda Lee Stitt Anderson. He was a well-known and respected heavy equipment mechanic who took great pride in his work. Dennis enjoyed fishing, old cars, and watching football (and talking football smack with his cousin Joe!). He was particularly fond of coffee (one cream and one sugar!), and his Winston cigarettes.
His devotion to his family was second-to-none. He leaves behind his wife, Heidi; children: Kyle (Heather) Overton of Hartwell, GA, Caine Overton of Brooksville, FL, Clayton Overton of Elberton, GA, Amzie Overton of Elberton, GA, Erin Shaw of Elberton, GA, and Lindsey Rice of Elberton, GA; sister, Cindy Corley of Salisbury, NC; and four grandchildren: Calvin Overton, Ava Mahaffey, Jackson Mahaffey, and Ryder Mahaffey.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his siblings: Dallas Overton, Jr. and LaDonna Dixon.
Memorial services celebrating the life of Dennis Overton will be held on Saturday, December 17, at 10:00a.m. in the Memorial Chapel of Berry Funeral Home with Mr. Michael Shaver officiating. The family will greet friends immediately following the service.
