Dennis cared deeply for his family and always made those around him feel valued and supported. He had a giving heart and a way of bringing comfort and laughter to his family and friends.

His greatest loves were spoiling his wife and girls, watching his favorite basketball team -the UNC Tar Heels, talking about his experiences serving in the 82nd Airborne, and his passion was playing golf. He truly enjoyed being out on the course, whether it was the challenge of the game, the quiet moments outdoors or the time spent with his golfing buddies. Golf brought him happiness and relaxation, and it was something he looked forward to whenever he had the chance to play. He will always be remembered for his love, dedication to his family and the joy he found in the simple things – especially a good day on the golf course. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
