Dennis was one of the first people I was introduced to when my family moved here from Wichita in 1973. We quickly became lifelong friends and our lives paralleled in so many ways. I will miss him like a brother. Love you all.

Debbie and boys: I am so, so sorry to hear about Dennis. I absolutely loved him. My best memories growing up were with you guys and our youth group. My heart is broken. I last saw him at my uncle's funeral and then talked to him a few month's after that when he was checking in on my momma. My heart is broken for each of you. There are no words. Please know I am here if I can do anything for any of you. I will not be able to make the service, but will watch online after. I love you all and I am praying for you in the days and weeks ahead.
