Dennis joined the United States Air Force shortly after high school, where he served his country with honor and dedication. He then worked at Hallmark Cards, Inc. Warehouse, and pursued his passion for photography, becoming a professional in the field. He was a proud member of the Professional Photography Association of Kansas.

Dennis’s love for his family was a cornerstone of his life. He was known for his great sense of humor and love of pranks, always finding a way to bring laughter into their lives. He was a loyal fan of the University of Kansas basketball team and the Kansas City Chiefs, often sharing these passions with his loved ones. In 2017, he married Mary Ann Borgren in a beautiful ceremony at Niagara Falls, and they moved to Edmond, Oklahoma, in 2022. Both Dennis and Mary Ann found solace and community at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Edmond.
