Dennis graduated from Plattsmouth High School with the class of 1980. Shortly before his graduation, he married his high school sweetheart, Jeanie Duckworth, on February 23, 1979, in Plattsmouth, Nebraska.

He was a passionate football fan, cheering on both the Nebraska Huskers and the Oklahoma Sooners with equal enthusiasm. Dennis also played slow pitch softball for many years, forming lifelong friendships along the way. Above all, he cherished time spent with his family, taking great joy in the activities and accomplishments of his grandchildren.
