Dennis Phelps Obituary
NORTH LEWISBURG – Dennis "Denny" Lynn Phelps, 72 of North Lewisburg, Ohio, passed away on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024 in OSU Medical Center.
Denny was born on May 18, 1952 in Columbus, Ohio to the late Robert and Alice (Ferryman) Phelps.
Denny was a quiet man with a big heart, known for his love of family and simple pleasures. A fan of old Westerns, OSU games, and Fox News, Dennis found joy in the little things.
Denny's greatest joy in life was his family. He was especially proud of his grandson, Hudson, and loved nothing more than attending Hudson's sports events and school programs. The two shared a special bond, often teaming up for lighthearted mischief against "Grammy!" Whether they were enjoying trips to Cedar Point, Hotel Breakers trips, or going to the movies with Hudson, Denny cherished every moment spent with his family and those he loved.
Though Denny was a man of few words, those who knew him best understood that his love ran deep. His quiet nature didn't diminish the strength of his affection; it only made those moments when he did speak or show affection all the more meaningful. Denny will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who were lucky enough to know him.
Denny is survived by his loving wife and best friend, Chris Phelps; son, Michael (Rachel) Phelps; grandson, Hudson Phelps; sisters, Judy Jackson, Linda Rutan, Alicia (Carl) Davis; brothers, Steven (Connie) Phelps, Douglas (Amelia) Phelps; as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Denny is preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Sharon Longberry, Pamela Spain; and brother Gary Phelps.
A gathering of family and friends will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024 in FRESHWATER, MCDONALD & VERNON Funeral Home, North Lewisburg, Ohio.
Funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 22, 2024 in the funeral home with Pastor John Instine officiating.
Burial will follow in Maple Grove Cemetery, North Lewisburg.
