Dwight Dennis Freeland

ennis was born in Grass Valley, California on July 14, 1950 to Clark Wendell & Verna Freeland, the youngest of three. He resided with his parents and sisters, Wendy and Rosemary, in Grass Valley until he moved to Bakersfield, CA, in 1969. He started a family with his wife Pamela and raised two sons, Brian and Kevin. He was trained as a plumbing apprentice and became a journeyman in no time working for an amazing local plumbing business, John Boles Plumbing. Mr. Boles made a significant impact on Denny's career and he soon became a master plumber. Dennis was an ambitious man and father; he started his own plumbing company in 1977. His business was family owned and operated. His sons stepped into his shoes and grew into the plumbing business themselves. Dennis left a legacy of built projects spanning over five decades throughout California, primarily centered in Bakersfield and Kern County. His work ethic and determination was known by all who worked with him. He enjoyed life to the fullest. He had a lot of hobbies in life: fishing, camping, hunting, motorcycling, scuba diving, boating and many more. He was an amazing cook and intrigued with the mechanics of all of his vehicles and toys. He was a role model in his strength and in his caring nature. He will be greatly missed by all who had the opportunity to know him.
Dennis is survived in death by his loving sons Brian Clark Freeland and Kevin Robert Freeland, three grandchildren, Bradley, Ethan and Emily, and several other family and friends. Services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on September 28 at Olive Knolls Church in Bakersfield, followed by a celebration of his life at Chuy's on Rosedale Hwy. for those who wish to attend.
