Dennis was an amazing, caring, and loving man--a young King taken from us too soon. Dennis was born on September 15, 1983, in San Bernardino, California. He graduated from Rialto High School in Rialto, California in 2001 where he was on the track and football teams. Dennis died unexpectedly from an auto accident on October 5, 2024, in Melissa, Texas, at the age of 41.

Dennis is survived by his mother Tammy, his father Dennis, his stepmother Patty, his sister Yvette, and his brother Nicolas. His sister Denelle predeceased him. He is also survived by his nephews Terrell, Jaylani, Xavier, Alex, and Theo and his one niece, Abygail.

Most importantly, he is survived by his Queen Twillia, his Princess Angelina, Prince Dennis III, Prince Daniel, twin Princes Devon and Devin, and Princess Twyla, along with Princesses Amari, Kamari, and Rayne. 

Dennis was a family man and his wife and children were very special to him. 

There are also a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins who he loved. In addition, he leaves behind many valuable friends and acquaintances, especially Eric and Justin who have been his life-long friends. 

Dennis will be remembered as a person that never quit on any of his endeavors. He always believed he could achieve whatever he set out to do and was a hard worker. He cared about others and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Dennis was also creative and very artistic. But the most important role in his life was being an involved dedicated father to all his children who he loved so dearly. 

Dennis will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. 

Rest in peace in Heaven young King.
