Dennis Edward Scanlon's Obituary
Dennis Edward Scanlon passed away peacefully on October 3, 2025, at the age of 79. Born on June 8, 1946, Dennis lived a life defined by resilience, craftsmanship, and a deep, but sometimes hidden, love for his family.
A lifelong mechanic and handyman, Dennis had a gift for fixing just about anything. Whether it was a broken-down engine or a leaky faucet, he approached every problem with grit and know-how. Even after retirement, he could often be found in the garage, tinkering with cars and keeping his hands busy.
Dennis was known for his tough exterior, but those who took the time to know him discovered a man of great depth and loyalty. He didn’t wear his heart on his sleeve, but he carried it quietly and fiercely for the people he loved.
He is survived by his wife, Esther; his daughter, Marlo; his grandchildren, Connor (deceased) and Sage; and his brothers, Patrick and Tommy. He was predeceased by his parents.
Visitation will be held on October 14, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, with a memorial service to begin at 4:00 PM.
