Dennis grew up in Socorro, New Mexico with his parents and four siblings. Dennis moved to Albuquerque, where he attended the University of New Mexico, in pursuit of a biology degree. While attending school, he worked for Safeway, where he would later meet the love of his life, Brenda. They were married on Friday, September 10, 1982. Together, they raised their five children. Dennis started his own company in retail merchandising and worked tirelessly to take care of and provide for his family. Dennis deeply loved his family, and spending time outside. He was a big sports fan, and a lifelong fan of the Denver Broncos and LA Dodgers.
