Dennis Viernum Obituary

Published by Legacy on Mar. 6, 2026.
Dennis Lee Viernum Jr., 49 of Alsip, Illinois, was born in Hammond Indiana on May 31, 1976 and passed away on February 24, 2026. Dennis lived a life rooted in dedication to his family, faith and passions.

A devoted follower of the Baptist faith, Dennis drew strength and guidance from his beliefs throughout his life. He was a loving husband to Christina Viernum and a proud father to his son, Dennis Lee Viernum III. He was fondly regarded by his mother-in-law Gloria Flores. Dennis was preceded in death by his beloved grandmother, Rosemary Winstead and survived by his brothers William Viernum and Michael Zubrenic.

Professionally, Dennis worked as a HVAC technician, a role he approached with skill and unwavering dedication. Outside of work, he found the most joy in spending time with his beloved son. His natural gift for conversation and warm presence left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Above all else, Dennis cherished his roles as a husband, father and friend. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

May his memory bring comfort to all who were fortunate enough to know him
