Dennis Sears Obituary

Sears, Dennis C. The love of my life has finally earned his independence from that miserable Vietnam War, on Thursday, July 4, 2019. Beloved husband of Kathie Sears (nee Yiatras); loving father of Tammy Corbett, Mary Dye, and the late Jason Sears; cherished grandfather of Garrett, Harrison (Sheridan Simpson) and Colton Dye; dear brother of George (Joann), Frank (Judy) Sears, Mary (Jim) Mohan and the late Carol Sue Sears; our dear uncle, cousin and friend to many. Dennis's heart of gold continued to fight this horrible disease until his last breath. He had never known a stranger. He will be missed, and will forever be in our hearts. Services: Funeral from Kutis South County Chapel, 5255 Lemay Ferry Rd., Wednesday, July 10, 9:15 a.m. to Seven Holy Founder Catholic Church for 10 a.m. Mass. Interment Resurrection Cemetery.

I didn't know that Dennis had passed, we were in the army together at Fort Sill, came home on leave together and went to Vietnam togther. I was his mail man for 6 years in the 1990's, I'm so sorry to find out he's gone. Michael Zundel

I remember Dennis. We grew up on Carr street. He was very competitive and hated to lose when we played ball. Sorry to hear of his passing.

You will be missed. I've only know you a short time, but the Rec center won't be the same. I'll miss you shouting "Blues Baby" every time you saw me and harassing me for kissing my wife. You are one of a kind.

I worked with Dennis at Taystee Bread.
Dennis was one of the most colorful people I've
had the privilege to know. It was never boring when he
was in the room. Quick whittled and funny. A good man.
I will keep him and his family in my prayers.
Respectfully, Glenn Zichler
