Dennis had a long career in the oil and gas industry which he truly enjoyed. He always loved engineering. He loved the relationships with the people in the industry.
He was an avid outdoorsman. Hunting, fishing, snowboarding, and being with his family were among his passions.
More than all the above, Dennis had a deep and abiding faith in Jesus Christ. That faith was lived out by the way he humbly served his local body of believers at Tomball Bible Church and especially his family.
He will be missed by his family, especially his sons and his ‘daughter-in-loves’, his grandchildren who lovingly called him “Pops” and his wife, Karen, whom he adored. They had a love and devotion to one another, which was a picture of Christ and love for His church.
