Dennis enlisted in the Army in 1969, was stationed in Germany, and served during the Vietnam War. He was later stationed at Fort Bragg. He went on to become a jumpmaster in the 82nd Airborne Division before being honorably discharged as a Sgt. in 1975.
He and Cynthia were married for 25 wonderful years. Dennis carried himself in a way that allowed others to be immediately comfortable with him and trust him. He was a caring nurse who went above and beyond for his patients and a mentor to his colleagues. He was respectful and kind toward everyone who encountered him, and had piercing green eyes that could look into your soul.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Gerald and Irene Jantz; brother, Leonard Jantz and his son, Jesse Jantz.
Dennis leaves his loving memories to his wife, Cynthia Ann Jantz; Children: Timothy Jantz, Christopher (Jan) Jantz, Sara (Zachary) Ramirez, Nicholas Jantz, Jeffrey Jantz, Justin Jantz, Jacob Jantz, and Jaith Jantz; Grandchildren: Summer, Sean, Aaron, and Tristin Jantz; Six great-grandchildren; Brother: Wayne Jantz; and Sister: Laurlai Garrett.
