Dennis Patrick Hinkle

Dennis Hinkle was a member of West Maryville Baptist Church. He was born the third of four children and was raised in Knoxville Tennessee. After graduating from Young high school he served in the Navy. He later went to work at Alcoa, where he remained until he retired. Upon his retirement, he went back to school, that was something he was very proud of. He always wanted to attend college further, but raising a family was of the upmost importance. During his retirement, he fell in love with researching his family tree, traveling, and learning of his roots.

Dennis is survived by the love of his life, who he cherished to the end as promised, Peggy Marie (Cavender) Hinkle, married 62 years; Dewayne Hinkle, daughter-in-law, Shirley; Lonnie Hinkle, daughter-in-law, Angie; Dennis Hinkle Jr.; along with eight grandchildren and six great grandchildren; Sister Carylon Faye Hinkle, and many cousins.

Preceded in death by his parents, Gordon Raymond and Blanche Hinkle; brothers, George and Clarence (David) Hinkle.

While this is a time of sadness, the family asks you to come celebrate his life and his return to his Heavenly Father.

A Visitation for Dennis will be held on April 3, 2024 at 12:00 pm at Sherwood Chapel and Memorial Gardens 3176 Airport Highway, Alcoa, TN with a Funeral Service with military honors to follow at 2:00 pm.
