Dennis retired from Northrop Grumman after 35 years of service. He also served faithfully as an usher with St. Edward the Confessor Church for over 20 years. He was a hard-working man who enjoyed lifting weights, gardening and yard work as well as working on projects around the house. People often wondered how he could do all the things he did at his age. He was also an excellent dancer and could often be seen at Mo's Chalet.
Dennis was the beloved husband of Kathleen C. Ducote. He was the father of Brenda Ducote of Metairie, LA, Glen Ducote of Metairie, LA, and Bryan Ducote (Erin) of Kenner, LA, and the late Dennis Ducote, Jr. (Eileen) and Michael Ducote. He was the grandfather of Justin J. Ducote (Catherine), Jessie J. Ducote (Nicole), and Skylar Ducote, and the great-grandfather of 4. He is also survived by numerous cousins and other relatives. He was preceded in death by his parents, Whitnale Ducote and Laura Kazalot Ducote, and all 12 of his siblings.
Services will be held at Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, 4747 Veterans Memorial Blvd. in Metairie, LA on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Visitation will be held from 9:00 am - 11:00 am followed by a Funeral Mass. Interment will be in Garden of Memories Cemetery.
