Dennis Mutscheller Obituary

Dennis Charles Mutscheller passed away peacefully in his sleep after a long battle with lung cancer, with his devoted wife Becky at his side. Dennis found joy in the simple things; the ocean, reading, his family, and the Padres. He was patient, funny, humble and kind. He will be greatly missed.
Dennis joins two sisters in Heaven, Mary Gathman and Peggy Parker. He leaves behind his wife Becky, his children Jake (Erin) Mutscheller, Kacie (Mike) Forrest and Tessa (Scott) Christian, six grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and his two sisters, Helen Ann McGowan and Stephanie Rudolph. A celebration of life is planned for September 7, 2022. Please contact: Jake Mutscheller for details: [email protected]
