   Dennis was the youngest of Nick and Rose Wiebe's five children. A devoted husband, brother, loving father, grandfather, uncle and friend.

   A kind but powerful man, respected for his moral fortitude, trusted word and gentle but determined character likened unto the mountains he climbed, valleys he crossed and bull elk he greatly admired.

   He lived life to its fullest.  Dennis was a longtime supporter of the Angels Gun Club, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and California Mule Deer Foundation.

   Passionate about nature "Unc" participated in annual Audubon bird counts and greatly enjoyed music and photography.
