Dennis Strang

Dennis A. Strang, fondly known as "Denny," born on September 22, 1946, bid farewell to this world on December 19, 2023. A devoted husband, he shared 45 years of unwavering love with his soulmate, Janis Strang, whom he married on July 1, 1978, at The People’s Church in East Lansing.

Denny's resilient spirit defined him, as he fought illness valiantly to remain a pillar of strength for his cherished family. An ardent outdoorsman, he found solace in fishing for perch and walleye, hunting deer and small game, and exploring the snow-covered landscapes of Northern Michigan on his snowmobile. Denny's hands-on approach extended to home projects, showcasing his skill and passion for craftsmanship.

A proud US Army veteran, Denny was decorated with the Vietnam Service Medal and the National Defense Vietnam Campaign Medal. His dedication to service extended beyond military life, as he retired as an electrician at General Motors and remained an active member of the Charlotte VFW.

Dennis leaves behind a legacy of love and resilience. He is survived by his siblings Patrick Strang and Robert Granger, and his children: Kristin Knisely (David), Lisa Cook (Jim), Wendy Strang, Mary Jo Coscarelli (Pasquale), Paul S. Neirink, Michael Strang (Laura), and Amy DeRosia (Chad), 14 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. In the embrace of family and friends, Denny's memory will endure, a testament to a life well-lived and a love that transcends time.
