HI Jim & Sheryl
I worked w/ Jim @ Phillips 66 on Beaver & Douglas. I met Dennis at that time. He used to come to our house alot and hang out with my teenagers and we'd all go up to the Video Arcade to play pool near Merle Hay Mall
Dennis sure could make us laugh! he was an awesome young man! I am very happy he was in our family for a breif time.
We lost touch over the past few yrs, but he will always remain in my heart
words cannot express how saddened I am now to learn of his accident!
I cant belive he is gone!

To Aly, Rusty & family: Words cannot help, hugs can only do so much. Knowing you are in pain and being able to do nothing makes me feel even worse. Dennis was the kind of guy anyone would love. His eyes, his smile, his loving nature will never be forgotten. I am so sorry. For everything. ~Melissa
