Dennis was a Chaplain for Road Riders for Jesus.

Dennis loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ He was a faithful servant; always starting his day in prayer allowing the teaching of the gospel to guide his every step.

In his final hours, he was doing just that, serving and lending a helping hand to someone in need.

He took every opportunity to teach others God's word. Whether it was from behind a pulpit or sitting across a table; Dennis found many ways to bring the teaching of scriptures into every conversation. He stood boldly in his convictions. Never wavered. He was a fisher of men.

He also had a zest for life, looking at the world through a creative lens. From photography to wood working. Hobbies that he thoroughly enjoyed. Planning and implementing and seeing it all come to life gave him much joy.

The loss is so great as he was loved by so many. Take comfort knowing that he is with his Lord and Savior being told,

“Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
