Roger Lee Dennison "Denny", 87, of Goshen, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on October 6, 2025. He was born on December 22, 1937, in Park City, Kentucky, to the late Harry and Ruby Dennison.

Roger lived a full and hardworking life, always dedicated to his family and the people around him. He is survived by his loving children, Lisa Rachel Wolfe (James), Roger “Lee” Dennison II, and Robert Lee Wayne Dennison; and by his sister, Geneva Abell.

He was a proud grandfather to Erica Parks, Joshua Dennison (Lynsey), James Aaron Wolfe (Abigail), Lauren Wolfe, Mitchell Dennison, Jordan Dennison, and Harlow Dennison. Roger was also blessed with great-grandchildren who brought him so much joy, Aubree Parks, Peyton Parks, Baker Dennison, Ruby Wolfe, and Julian Wolfe.

Roger was preceded in death by his beloved parents; his brother, Robert Dennison; and his son, Timothy Wayne Dennison.

A man of great energy and heart, Roger took pride in working in his yard, helping others, and running his own valet parking business, which he loved dearly. He was a loyal fan of the University of Kentucky Wildcats and could often be found cheering them on with enthusiasm.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, from 1:00 PM until 6:00 PM at Louisville Memorial Gardens East. A funeral service will follow at 6:00 PM at the same location.

Roger will be remembered as a kindhearted father, loving grandfather, dedicated friend, and hardworking man who always put others before himself. His warmth, generosity, and laughter will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him.
