Our prayers go out to his wife and family for peace at this difficult time. Denis was a gentle man with a sincere heart for others. Quiet in demeanor but always had something positive to say and always seemed to have a smile on his face and had a keen sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by many. Apparently his time here was complete, although we don't understand why! We wish God's blessing on all of you.

Praying for you and your family during this time of loss. May God's love and peace surround you all. My husband and I worked with Denis as youth leaders at First Assembly of God in Manchester many years ago. My children were part of his youth group. His love and confidence in Christ will always be remembered. His faith reached everyone around him. It was truly an honor and privilege to have worked side by side with him. May God's love and strength comfort you all during this difficult time.

Kellirose, Vi and family of Denis, my sincere sympathies in your loss of such a sweet and kind man. I had a chance to interact with him with Doulos Ministries and I found him easy to work with. A very faithful man and helpful soul. He will be dearly missed by all of you. My mom also sends out her sympathies to all of you and because of COVID will not be at the funeral home. Please all stay safe
