Dennis served in the Navy. He drove semi trucks and later became an auto mechanic and customized to vehicles and Harley motorcycles. He built and rebuilt many machines for friends in his spare time, on occasion making house calls for stranded college students and their vehicles.

Dennis was completely and totally dedicated to his children, Haleigh and Wyatt, raising them by himself when Wyatt was but an infant. He loved the Broncos and living in the mountains. He was the most wonderful daddy.
He was the kind of friend that you could count on. If you acquired his friendship, you had it for life. His quick smile and willingness to laugh at himself was infectious. A gentle giant with a keen sense of humor.
