Passed away on Thursday, February 15, 2024 at the age of 71. Beloved husband of Sue (nee Topel) for 35 years.  Loving father of Ryan and Kerry. Dear brother of Jeanne (Glen) Downer and brother-in-law of Greg (Colleen) Topel and Bruce (Kelly) Tieves. Further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives, friends and his granddogs Ozzy and Rex.

Dennis worked at Coca-Cola for 13 years as a driver before going to sales at Beer Capitol for 32 years, retiring in 2017. He loved to go boating, often with a Corona in hand, and used to enjoy water skiing and bowling as well. More recently he loved going to the WAC to swim, though socializing with all his friends may have brought him the most joy.

Visitation will be on Saturday, February 24 from 12PM until time of Memorial Service at 2PM at Schmidt & Bartelt Funeral Home – Sussex; W250 N6505 Hwy 164.
