To the family of Dennis Jackson, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Denise is a very close friend of mine, and she always told me wonderful things about her parents. I got the opportunity to meet her dad a few times, and he always brought a smile to my face. He was such a strong man who loved his family so much. I know you all are going through so much pain, but just remember that he is in no more pain and in the loving arms of or lord Jesus.
To the Baker family, we are so sorry for your loss. Dennis, we hope you are at peace, rest easy.
If you knew Denis you knew his smile. He never left home without it.
He left his mark on this earth and will be missed by many.
A truly loving friend. He and Marilyn share love and laughter where they went. His faith was strong and he expressed it with his stain glass creations. He loved his children and grandchildren and all the greats all will remember this kind and beautiful man.
So sorry for the loss of a special Husband, Father and Grandfather. Praying for your family. Anton & Pat Smajstrla
I remember Dennis as kind and gentle and he will be missed. Heaven gained a good man.
If there is anyone who enters Heaven it is Dennis. He was a wonderful man and a GREAT friend. I will miss him greatly.
I’m so sorry for this great loss. You guys are such an amazing family. Praying for you all!
No better a journey ever had than the one you’re on now, sir! May your family be comforted in remberance of the LOVE you freely gave. If measured by the size of your smile, you truly blessed them all. May your memory and HIS LOVE shelter them until they meet you in the sky.
Love, peace, prayers and condolences to the entire Jackson family and friends.
Dennis was one of the nicest guy I ever worked with. We worked together at Westhollow Shell in the Central Utilities Plant. Prayers and Condolences to the family.
My Daddy was an exceptional family man and even though my own heart has been shattered by his passing, I have comfort in knowing he had a first class ticket to HEAVEN. Dad always was gentle, thoughtful & kind to ALL. He gave more of himself to others than anyone else I’ve EVER known. Truly a humble & careful man to be more than fair with others and he LOVED his family with such conviction, and we all knew it. Yes, WE KNEW! As his only daughter, I admired NO ONE MORE than my Daddy. I love you forever and will miss you until the time WE hug again, Daddy. ♥️
