Dennis battled cancer twice, but lost the fight on Sunday, June 17, 2018, after attending his own Celebration of Life party with family and friends in San Angelo on Saturday. Dennis was an extraordinary person who never met a stranger. In his early years, he rode bulls in the PRCA circuit. He was gifted with the ability to sell and periodically worked for M.L.

He also enjoyed working on cutting horse and cattle ranches and is well remembered for his horse training techniques. Dennis loved his horses, dogs, western and family history, and fine clothes and boots.
