Dennis Alan Burket

Dennis graduated from Wichita Falls High School in 1970. He then served nobly in the Navy from 1971 to 1974 on the USS Marvin Shields. Following his military service, Dennis worked at Stanley Tools before joining the City of Wichita Falls, where he contributed to the Multi-Purpose Events Center (MPEC) and subsequently retired as a Transportation Administrator on August 1, 2019.

On May 22, 1976, Dennis married Robbie Gayle Sperry in Wichita Falls, Texas. A devoted family man, Dennis was always cherished by those who knew him. He possessed a remarkable ability to fix or build anything and had a passion for cooking, especially enjoying preparing burgers, ribs, brisket, and enchiladas.
