Dennis Michael Fago

He was born on June 25, 1944, in Detroit, Michigan. Dennis met the love of his life, Terrie Kaseta, when he was just 16 years old. They were high school sweethearts and were married on August 26, 1966, beginning a lifelong partnership filled with love and shared memories.

Dennis proudly served as a reservist in the United States Marine Corps from August 1964 to May 1970. During his time in the service, he was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and earned a rifle marksman badge.

He spent 40 years working for Ford Motor Company, where he built a respected career and retired in 2004 as a maintenance supervisor.

Dennis had a deep appreciation for music from the 1950s and 1960s and especially enjoyed attending concerts with Terrie. He also had a passion for cars and was very proud of his custom 1950 Mercury hot rod, which he enjoyed working on and showing at car shows. Dennis truly treasured his family and all of his friendships, many of them spanning more than half a century.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Terrie Fago; his cherished daughter, Nicole Fago; his sister-in-law, Barbara Rohde; and his nieces, Lisa Rohde and Mary Butler.

Dennis will be remembered as a devoted husband, loving father, proud veteran, and a man who took pride in his work and hobbies. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

In accordance with Dennis’s wishes, cremation will take place.

Dennis’s family will receive visitors on Thursday, March 26, 2026, from 2:00 pm until 8:00 pm, at the Harry J Will Funeral Home, 37000 Six Mile Road, Livonia, Michigan 48152.
