Dover Family, I was so very sorry to hear of the loss of Dennis. He was a sweet, friendly, smiling, and funny guy and I know he will be missed so much. The Dover's all have a special place in my heart as part of the Calvary Baptist family. It was a wonderful church family to grow up in and I know helped to form Dennis into the great guy mentioned in all of these condolences. We will continue to pray for comfort and peace for all of you.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Dennis. My first true love! I adored him so.. I haven't seen Dennis in years but often remember his beautiful smile and the fun times we had riding around in "Alice" his Ford Fairlane. He would drive by my house revving that engine - always made me grin. I love reading these tributes as I am not surprised at all of the lives he has so generously and graciously touched. My thoughts and prayers are with the Dover's as they struggle with this tremendous loss.
I am so sorry for your loss you are in my prayers. Dennis will be missed by all. I am thinking of you at this time
Dennis(aka Marvin) always brought a smile to the people that was around him he was great to be with, He would always keep us laughing he will be greatly miss! To his family our prayers will be with you.from Trog
HOPE: After the Shadows by James Rowe
After the midnight, morning will greet us;
After the sadness, joy will appear;
After the tempest, sunlight will meet us;
After the jeering, praise we shall hear.
Refrain
After the shadows, there will be sunshine;
After the frown, the soul-cheering smile;
Cling to the Savior, love Him forever;
All will be well in a little while.
After the battle, peace will be given;
After the weeping, song there will be;
After the journey there will be Heaven,
Burdens will fall and we shall be free.
Refrain
Shadows and sunshine all thro’ the story,
Teardrops and pleasure, day after day;
But when we reach the kingdom of glory,
Trials of earth will vanish away.
Refrain
My love, prayers & thougts are with you , Becca and family - always, Barbaa

My Sincerest regrets on hearing of of the loss of Dennis.
He was so proud of his family, friends and career.
My sorrow goes out to his family.

Cathy
Dennis will be missed by all who knew and worked with him. A true friend is hard to come by. Dennis was that friend.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Dennis laughing and smiling. Mary, Doug, and all the Dover family you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace and comfort during this time.
Becca, we are so sorry for your loss! We will miss visiting with Dennis on the front porch where he usually sits. Our love and prayers are with you, Mary Ruth, Zack, and Ava May! Please do not hesitate to call us as we can be there for you in seconds! Our love,
Please accept my sympathy at this tender time for your loss. When a love one has conquered and completed their current journey, the ones here on earth have to learn to live without the one we hold dear. How? Time helps to console, and though humans may not have the perfect thing to say , just knowing someone cares can help. 2 Cor 1:3 the God of all comfort.
We are so sorry for your loss.
We have known each other for a long time and still cherish your friendship. I always enjoyed be around Dennis, seems like we always were laughing. Dovers, you are all in our prayers.
With love ,
Tommy Scott Family
I will miss his weekly phone calls. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
May the perfect peace that only God can give abide with you and your family now and through the months ahead. Keep trusting in the Lord with all your heart. Prayers for strength and peace for you all.

We often see and hear banner headlines when captains of industry die but it is the foot soldiers of that industry that truly should be immortalized. Dennis was one of those foot soldiers in the RV Industry. He was responsible for acquiring new accounts and building existing accounts for the sale of RV parts. He did it better than anyone I have known in my 42 years in the RV business.
All of us who had the pleasure of having Dennis as our salesman, knew ever detail of his life. He regaled in telling his life story to all of us. From his days playing football to growing up in Arkansas. We all learned about his parents farm, his brother and especially his wife and kids
I feel as if I watched Mary Ruth and Zach grow up as Dennis would keep us informed of their latest achievements. He loved his baby grandchild and called everyone with the news of the babies birth. I feel as if I could tell everyone about Becca's work in the insurance business and the loving marriage she shared with Dennis.
He wasn't just one sided in his conversation as he would ask about my family by name and knew all the details of his customers life
The great Will Roger's once said he never met a man he didn't like. Dennis was a man that everyone liked. I am not ashamed I loved him and will forever have a deep hole in my life without him. GOD bless to all of his family and may the blessings of the Lord be with you and Dennis.
So very sorry to hear of Dennis passing our thoughts and prayers go out to you all may you be comforted at this time. Love,
Everett & Sybil Davenport
I am praying for you all. May God comfort you as only He can. I didn't know Dennis as well as I would have liked, but I know he had much family and friends that loved him and will miss him. I will not be able to attend the funeral but
God willing I will be at the cemetery. All my love, Barbara
Dear Dover family, my heart is broken over reading this news! As many of you know Dennis and I knew each other back in the Heights grocery store days and our friendship never ended! I just talked to him this week and he bragged on his kids and precious grandbaby! He was the dearest friend and I will miss him so much! I will not be back in Arkansas for a while, but please know my heart and hugs are with each of you doing this time! He was a wonderful man! Deepest sympathy!
We will keep you and your family in your our prayers
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God continue to cover you with His hand.
We send our prayers to the many family and friends. No words at this time will make it any easier, but may God ease your pain.
My prayers are with you in the true knowledge of rest in our Savior
A great man that will be missed. We were cousins on Earth but Brothers in Christ....I will see you again when we are all gathered together again in Heaven!
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.
