So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

I'm so sorry to hear this. Dennis provided so much guidance to me when I was young and was a wonderful friend and mentor even to adulthood. I have so many memories of youth group outings, float trips, travels to Fayetteville for Razorback games, hunfreds of softball games and so many other great times.
I learned so much from Dennis, I loved him and I'm so sad for his family but I'm forever thankful that he, and the entire Bauer family, have been in my life.

God has always been a part of our lives and we were lucky enough to have Dennis and Louise as a huge part of our First Lutheran family. It is always our strength and faith that helps us all to deal with a loss of someone we care about. We can understand that Dennis is a part of God's plan and we will all be together again. RIP friend.

Dennis Bauer, where to start: Dennis LOVED his family. If you ever wanted to hear about them, say Hello. Dennis hid behind the “Bauer Wall” and wouldn’t let many past it. If he did, you found a devoted, loyal, dry humor, totally all in individual. If you needed something done, just ask. At any soccer event, he was the first one there snd the last to leave. If it was hanging nets, lining fields, mowing or reffing, Dennis was the guy. Being quiet, he avoided the limelight and was fine with it. He challenged me and kept me on my toes. He was misunderstood but an incredible man. Dennis will be missed, may he now rest in peace.

Praying for all the family! Coach, thank you for the wonderful memories the softball girls have because of you! The trips out of town for tournaments were amazing. Most of all thank you for showing me how to be a friend, have friends and show respect to others! Your leadership as a coach was inspiring. Thank you for being such a friend to my Dad, Benny. The two of you were the best dads,(father figures) any girl could have asked for!
