NIELSEN, Dennis Michael
4/23/1959 – 1/28/2019

Dennis went home to be with his Lord and Savior early Monday morning. He fought an incredibly difficult fight through the weekend, but was able to start the week off free of pain and greeted by the one who knows him best and loves him most. He also is in the company of those he loved and missed dearly. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin, son and friend.

His heart was full of love and laughter for all those whose lives he touched.

D never met a stranger. From his sarcastic sense of humor to his ease with conversation, he made sure that all felt welcome in his presence. He will be missed dearly by his family and friends alike.
