Missing you as we celebrate the 19th birthday of your daughter, Aly, the birthday your twin grandsons share with your in-laws...our 20th wedding anniversary would have been on April 23rd of 2015 and your birthday is coming up in May...I do miss you so very much.  Love you always...

Dear Denise, I was so very, very sorry to hear Dennis has passed away.  I always wished I had occasion to work more with him because he was always so much fun.  The world will never be the same.  Praying for you and your family.

Denise,
Though it has been 25 years since I had the pleasure of working with Dennis at Southland, my heart does ache knowing he has left us.  During some very difficult times Dennis always was kind, considerate, honorable and caring.  I will always remember, appreciate and be thankful that I had the privilege to know him.  I will always hold the memory of Dennis in my heart as a man of honesty, integrity and a gentleman as well as a gentle man.  

I am sorry for your loss.  His parting leaves a void in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to have had Dennis in their life, even if only for a short span of time.

My prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.

Stephen H. Lewis

Dennis, I'm so glad to have known you.  You were a true servant-leader, not a manager.  Your silent strength and integrity spoke volumes, something I always admired.  During a brief team huddle, I remember having a tough time containing a  terrible cough that I had.  When you looked at me, I remember saying, "Sorry, hacking hairballs ..."  I recall you looking at me in shock, then busted out laughing!  Then I was shocked, thinking, wow, for such a soft spoken guy, I didn't think I could crack this egg!  I know you'll continue to look over Denise and your family as their favorite angel.

Denise, You and your family are in my thoughts.  The service was very nice. I don't know how you managed to get up and speak but it was very touching. I wish that I had had the chance to get to know Dennis. Much love to you and your family.

Through this difficult time I wish you strength and comfort as you reflect on the moments that became your life. Cherish each and every one. Lean on each other and your friends as all are here for you all. So many prayers are coming your way.

Dee, I am sorry for your loss of Dennis.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Denise, I'm sorry to hear about your husband. My thoughts are with you and your family and this difficult time.

Denise, Lani and I wanted to send our sincere condolences.  We were so sorry to hear about Dennis.  We worked together in the San Diego office and he introduced me to computers during the budgeting process before most people even knew about computers.  I loved his sense of humor.  He was truly one of the good guys.  I was so glad I got the chance to visit with him at the Xlanders reunion.  May God hold you and your family in the palm of his hand.  We are praying for you all.

Denise, my thoughts and prayers are with you through this tough time. Dennis was definitely one of the good guys who had a heart of gold and was always willing to,help anyone. He will be missed! Take care of yourself.

Denise, you don't know me but I have had the pleasure of knowing your lovely daughter, Aly.  My sincerest condolences to you and your family.  May the peace of God be upon you during this very difficult time.

Dear Denise,

I am so very sorry for your loss. Dennis was a wonderful person. It was such a pleasure getting to work with both of you at 7 Eleven. When the two of you got together, it was a match made in heaven. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. May the Lord comfort you and carry you through this difficult time.

Love, Sue McCarty

Denise, My heart aches for you and your family.  I am so sorry for your loss.  You are in my prayers. May God comfort you with all you are facing.  Love and Hugs

Denise I am so sorry about your loss of Dennis.  He was a great person and I enjoyed giving him a hard time at work.  He was the BEST!

Denise - Your family has been a blessing to our agency for years and years.  So sorry to hear of Dennis's passing and the tough lonely journey you now face.  He was blessed to have you and the girls by his side as he faced his illness and disability.  Thank you for being such a wonderful personal example to me of the vow I  made to love my wife “in good times and in bad”. Loved hearing all the wonderful stories of how your school and neighbors and Dennis's son dropped everything and traveled on a moment's notice to be there in his search.  Praying for hope and comfort and healing for you and your family.

Dennis, I liked you the moment I met you.  And when you and Dee got married at the Hotel Del, I knew I liked you even more.  You had great taste, and you took Brianna and raised her as your own.  You quickly became part of our wonderful family, of which I am so very proud.  I know it was a pain to drive all the way to our house, but I truly feel all those trips to the beach made you smile.  You always seemed to want to stay longer than you could, and you always returned.  The last time I saw you was at our end of the summer party.  The weather was beautiful, and we tired you out as you took a gentle catnap on our comfy couch.  Then of course school began, and life went on.  Until I got the call Friday night from Aly.  I came as soon as I could.  Although I searched for you Friday night and Saturday, I was unsuccessful in brining you back to the family who loved you so.  I can only hope and pray and know that you're free now -- free of all that held you back from the intelligent, hard-working, family man we all knew and loved. I still have great memories of how I wrangled you into playing Santa one Christmas Eve.  Still makes me smile.  Rest in peace, dear Dennis.  You'll be in our mind and in our dreams for the rest of our years.  xxoo

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Denise my heart goes out to you, your girls and the family. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss of Dennis. I can tell he was a wonderful husband and father.  Cherish all the lovely memories of him.  Peace be with you. Sincerely, Your sister in Christ. Diane Williams

We heard of the death of Dennis,and wish you all strength in these sad days.

Denise:  Our love and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow.  Know that your Kennedy Family will always be there for you!

Marion Mike-Coury and Family

To steal a quote from a George Strait song, "Life is not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away."  As we grieve, I hope that we can all find comfort in knowing that Dennis experienced several wonderful moments and that he helped us have our own special moments because we were blessed to have known him.

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our first born nephew.  We will always cherish the memories we have of a little boy full of energy, growing into a polite ambitious young man and saving the best to last a loving and caring husband and father.   Rest in peace, job well done.
Love always, Uncle Bob & Aunt Paula

Dennis was one of the most humble, loyal people I've known. He likely would be uncomfortable with this attention, but heaven knows that in this hyped-up world, it is exactly the decent, good people like Dennis that truly deserve the spotlight. I'm very thankful to have known him. Rest in peace, my friend.

So sorry to hear the news of Dennis passing and we offer condolences to all his family, friends and all those who knew and loved him.  May you find peace in knowing he is at rest in God's hands.

So sorry for your loss. I'll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts. Keep your head up and try to smile. You have so much to be proud of. Dennis was very lucky to have you. Hugs from Omaha.

My sincerest condolences to you Denise, Aly, and Carlee, and the rest of your family. From the short few years that I have known you, it has always been apparent that you have a strong family, with a lot of love and compassion. May he forever rest in peace, and in the hearts of all who loved him.

I will miss you Dennis truly an awesome man I'm glad I had you for a cousin I'll miss you and my heart goes out to your family.

Denise words can't properly express the saddness I have in Dennis's passing.  He was truly one of the good guys whose friendship I will dearly miss.  May God bless you and your family as you grieve your loss.  Sending love and hugs.
