Dennis met his wife Leamaree Ashby when her and a friend were dragging on Main Street in Brigham City. They were married in the Logan Temple on December 20, 1963, even after Lea wrecked his car on the way there.

Dennis started his trucking career for Smith Food King and drove for E.A. Millers, Motor Cargo, UPS Freight. Retiring after 45 years accident free, after one year of retirement he drove school bus for Box Elder School District.

He enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing on his boat. Dennis loved being in the mountains on a good horse with his dog by his side and just spending time with family.

Dennis is survived by his wife Leamaree; children: Melaine (Curtis) Crouch; Troy (Janna) McNeely; Cristy McNeely and Shawn (Tammy) McNeely; 17 grandkids; 16 great-grandkids with one great-grandkid due in April. He was preceded in death by his parents and 11 of 14 siblings.
