It was while he was a student at KU that someone first shared the Gospel with him, taking him to Romans 4:5: “But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness”. Denis placed his faith in the finished work of Christ and served Him all his day. He served as a founding elder at Park Woods Presbyterian of Overland Park, KS and is a member at Providence Reformed Church, Des Moines.
He worked in the insurance claims industry for nearly 32 years, having worked the last 23 years at Nationwide Agribusiness (formerly known as Farmland Insurance).
Denis is survived by his wife of 30 years Iris, their three sons: Mark, Merriam, KS; Peter (Chenni), West Des Moines, IA; Tim, West Des Moines, IA; mother Patricia Armstrong, Mission, KS; 5 brothers: Phil (Suzy), Frisco, TX, John (Karen), Lawrence, KS; Ken (Nancy), Prairie Village, KS; Dave, Mission, KS; Matt (Kristine), Pleasanton, CA; 3 sisters: Laura (Kevin) Patti, Roeland Park, KS; Mary (Matt) Reed, Kansas City, KS; Jeanne (Mike) Haynes, Sedalia, MO; 22 nieces and nephews; uncles: Gerald (Ann), Reynoldsburg, OH; Jim (Marla) Sunrise, FL; Rich (Joan) Downs, Washington, DC; and many cousins.
