Dennis DeVries Obituary

Dennis "Denny" DeVries was born at home on October 21, 1942 in Ogilvie, Minnesota to John and Jennie DeVries as the eighth of nine children. He went to heaven to be with the Lord on December 10, 2015. Denny moved to Colorado in 1962 after high school where he met and married Michele Norden of Denver, Colorado. He worked at IBM for many years. His interests were family, church, and golf (not always in that order!!). He was an entrepreneur, a hard-working, self-sacrificing, God-fearing, generous man. He is survived by his wife, three siblings, four children, fourteen grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and countless family and friends. He will be greatly missed. A Memorial Service will be held in his honor by his church family where he served as Deacon, Northern Ridge Baptist Church, at 3:00 PM on Friday, December 18, at Vista Ridge Academy on 3100 Ridge View Drive in Erie, Colorado. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that any gifts be made to the "NRBC Building Fund". Visit www.ahlbergfuneralchapel.com to share condolences.

Sorry to hear of Dennys passing. We were members of Mike's church when it was in Boulder. It was always a pleasure serving with Dennis. We miss you all and hope all is well with the Devries family.

The best softball player I ever played with. Whenever I think of Denny I get happy. I love that guy and his family. I will miss him now but look forward to seeing him soon. So grateful he was a part of my life. Blessings to his family from Boca.

I worked with Denny at IBM and played golf with him a few times over the last two years. We were also in a BSF small group together last year. I'll miss his sunny personality and love of the lord.
