Dennis Sheets Obituary

In Loving Memory of Denny Sheets Dennis "Denny" Sheets, 74, of Battle Ground, IN, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and joy. Born on July 15, 1950, in Lafayette, he was raised by his mother, Mary L. Strong. He graduated from East Tipp High School in 1968 and later earned his Associate Degree in Business, which he applied throughout his successful career. Denny dedicated 30 years of service to Landis & Gyr before concluding his working years at CAT Logistics. In 1975, he married the love of his life, Deb Sheets of Battle Ground, IN, who survives him. Their life together was filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Denny was a devoted father to his sons, Brent Sheets (Beth) of Battle Ground, IN, and Ben Sheets (Sarah) of Lafayette, IN. His greatest joy was spending time with his beloved grandchildren, Braelyn, Marsden, Shayna, and Preston, who brought light and happiness to his life. Denny had an adventurous spirit and a love for the outdoors. Whether he was bowling, fishing, or golfing, he found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He especially cherished his golf outings with his brother Stan and best friend Dave. An avid Yankees and Boilermaker fan, Denny never missed a game, cheering passionately for his teams. During his sons' younger years, he was deeply involved in Boy Scouts, serving as a Scoutmaster for eight years. His dedication and mentorship helped shape the lives of many young scouts. Denny is survived by his two sisters, Sandra Baker of Akron, OH, and Cindy Anderson (Mike) of Lafayette, IN; his brother, Stan Sheets of Crawfordsville, IN; his devoted wife, Deb; his sons, Brent and Ben; and his treasured grandchildren. He also shared a special bond with his faithful Shih Tzu, Boo-his loyal companion and best buddy. Denny will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his kind heart, and his passion for the things that brought him joy. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. Donations may be directed to the American Kidney Foundation or the American Liver Foundation.

My condolences to all of his family. I grew up with him and Stan in Buck Creek. Had the pleasure of Deb and him at the state fair concert. Him and I would play tennis after work at Landis and gear. He will always be in my memories.
