Dennis fought a long courageous battle with cancer.  He encouraged others whom he met to keep going and never give up.  Dennis truly has been through the Refiners Fire with all that he has gone through in his life.  His courage, faith and testimony and love for the Savior will always be with him throughout eternity.
