As a child, Dennis was compassionate, caring, and full of Life, laughter, and fun. He never met a stranger, and he was always the life of the party. Dennis always had a witty sense of humor and a charm about himself that hardly anyone who knew him could resist. He had a way of making you believe that whatever he was saying was “true” even when you knew in your head that it just wasn't possible. He was cool like that.
He attended school at Savannah High, where there he participated in the band as a drummer. In addition to the playing the drums, he had a beautiful voice and he played a mean saxophone. A few years later he married Trisha McGill and became a father to four beautiful children to whom he loved more than anything.

He worked for several years as the manager of operations at R.S.T Care Service, and later as a painter at Thunderbolt Marina. Shortly after his time at R.S.T Care Service, his life shifted in a different direction and he and Trisha decided to part ways. He later met Mungera Cash and welcomed her and her beautiful daughter Azora into his life. He proposed marriage to Mungera and was anticipating spending the rest of his life with her.
