Dennis R Powell Obituary
Dennis R Powell 73
Passed April 25, 2024
Born September 8, 1950
Place of birth Wichita, Kansas
What do you say about Dennis, like most of us he was a complicated mix of contradictions. He loved talking with everyone, always interested in their story and he was funny to a fault.
He loved to hunt, play darts, drink Rainier beer, make moon shine, smoke salmon, grow banana trees and a lifelong pot smoker. Imagine a hippie, that was Dennis.
He could talk for hours about growing up in Kansas, the love of his grandpa, church camp (he was the bad kid), his time in Vietnam, Cuyahoga Community College (sorry no degree to much partying to do) and how much he loved all our dogs.
He is survived by his wife Donna of 47 years, 6 months, 24 days, 19 hours, 55 minutes.
Good Bye Den, it was a wild ride a lifetime.
