Dennis spent his adult life in the Greenville area. He ran a construction business by the name of Big Time Home Improvement for 25 years. He, his wife Kathy and their ride or die partner Biscuit loved NASCAR, camping, the mountains and ocean. Dennis loves his children with all his heart. He loves his grandchildren and great grandchild maybe a little more. Dennis had never met a stranger. He had the biggest heart of anyone you will ever meet and was never farther than a phone call away. Even though we know he is rejoicing with the Lord we are heartbroken and will continue out his legacy.
