To the Dennis King Family,
First let me say that it was I, that renewed the guest book for a year. I was out searching the internet the other day and found Dennis's obituary, which was the last thing I expected that day and my heart dropped to my toes. It brought back lots of memories of the 60's and high school, and I used to have that picture of him, plus one without the cap and gown. We became friends while still in high school when we used to go to this teen club in West Valley called Surf Side, it was a place to hang out and dance to a live band called the Surf Side 5 (I still have an album) and that is how I met Dennis.. He didn't change much over the years, he was always the life of the party and happy all of the time way back then. He had a great smile and good hair..lol. I had lost track of him in 68 right before I moved to California the last time I saw him we had gone to see Camelot together. The memories still continue to this moment and I for one will never forget your father. He was special to me then and is also today! I am sorry for your loss and hope you all have lots of fantastic memories to remember him by.
Sorry that these memories are a little late, and I hope you don't mind my re-newing the book. But I really felt the need to let you know how special he was to me. Thanks, with sadness

Dearest Dennis,
We have 2 beautiful children and 2 cutest grandchildren in the whole wide world. Though are went separate ways, we still stayed friends and were never enemies. You were full of life, and made people laugh and you loved to laugh! It's too bad it didn't work out for us and we diviorced. They say everything happpens for a reason. Who knows what the future could of hold for us. Guess we will never know now. We had such good times and alot of good memories. I fell in love with you because of your kind and sweet ways. You made me laugh til i cried. Oh how i miss those days. You will always have a special place in my heart, and i just can't believe your gone now. All that i can say is, there will come a day when i will see you again in the next life, then maybe we will have a chance together again. Til we meet again, your loving ex-wife,
Barbara,
I will never forget our song!!!!!

Dennis,
My heart is so sad, but then I remember doing 4th of July in your drive way with the Candace & Racheal, and I have to laugh. We both loved doing things with the girls. I remember so many good times. We have all missed not seeing you and now it's too late. You will forever be in mine and Bridgetts heart. We are really going to miss you.
With all my love,
Kelle

Candace & Racheal,
Sorrow
If your sorrow can be lessened,
In some warm and special way,
By knowing that so many share,
In your loss with you today.
And if it brings you comfort,
When others show they care,
Please know that thoughts are with you,
And remember they are there.
I love you both so much. I cannot tell you how sorry I am.
Love,
Me and Dad

Dad,
Something I’ve feared since I was old enough to even understand happened so unexpectedly a few mornings ago.
I’m trying to pick up the remaining pieces of life and what I feel I have left in my heart just to move forward in life. Each shower I take is to wash away the day’s emotions and tears only soon to be resurfaced.
There are just so many things that I’ve wanted to say and so many more great memories that I wanted to make. Lately I’ve been thinking about seeing the look on your face as you gave me away at the end of the aisle – not just because you’re shocked that I would actually do it, but because I know it would make you so happy and give you the assurance that I had someone to look after me; much like Dave does for Racheal. There wasn’t a day that went by where I didn’t think about you, or hope that I’d get to hear your voice, and so eager to know the next time I’d get to see you. I know everyone was always so excited to see you as you filled everyone’s life and all of the moments with so much laughter and joy. I just feel like there is just so much that is left undone.
Although our time with you here is up and my life will never be the same without you, we are so grateful for the memories that we have and the times we got to spend with you. We will take these great memories as we move forward with our lives here and continue to build our own families. We’ll carry on with all of these things you’ve taught us and try our best to bring happiness to everyone’s life just like you did. We will always remember you as the life of the party, Big D, Dennis King the painter, the fastest and best painter in Utah, the best looking house in the neighborhood that probably had about 200 coats of paint on it, the truck with the cleanest windshield, the guy that mowed the edges of the lawn with hand trimmers, the guy that always had a brand new white pair of reebok shoes, your pride and joy Bridget the poodle, driving the car through the garage door and blaming it on Racheal, the father that pretended to spank me (sorry Mom), how much you loved to fish, hunt, watch football and just be around people, being happy and ensuring happiness all around you.
I realize there are always things we could have done differently. I realize that not only myself, but most people tend to take life and some of the things it has to offer for granted, often unintentionally. If there is anything to take away from these words I speak today, it’s to stop living life like you always have a tomorrow. Take the time to tell those that you love, that you really do love them. Make the time to be with your family and great friends, because the fact is, tomorrow just may not be there.
We love you so much Dad.
Love,
Daddy’s Little Girl

You are an inspiration to all of us on how to live a life to the fullest. You always made us laugh and appreciate life and all its qualities. You always had kind words and wisdom to offer about life, words which I will always hold close to my heart. You will be missed more than words can express. May you always be happy and keep on smiling!!
