Dennis L. Stanley, 69, of Ft. Pierre, SD and Keene, TX, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 19, 2023, at his home in Keene, TX.
A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, July 29, 2023, at Luce Funeral Home, Gettysburg, with Pastor Jeff Adel presiding.
Dennis Lee Stanley was born June 2, 1953, in Watertown, SD, to Everett and Helen (Bachman) Stanley. He graduated from Clark High School in 1972, and then attended Lake Area Vo-Tech in Watertown, SD. Throughout his lifetime, Dennis lived in Clark, Gettysburg, Pierre, and Keene, TX. He worked at CHS Inc. in Gettysburg, and at the Runnings Warehouse and Walmart while living in Pierre.
Dennis enjoyed hunting and fishing, spending time on the computer, and spending time with their Weimaraner dogs, Gretchen who has since passed away and their latest rescue dog, Rossi.
Dennis and Patti had recently embarked on their new adventure last fall when they sold their house in Pierre and purchased a new Fifth Wheel RV. They headed to Texas in September to become official Snowbirds. That was Dennis’ first and last journey as a Snowbird, but we are sure he is catching all the big fish now and doesn’t have to worry about going south for the winter!
Left to treasure his memory are his wife, Patti (Nauman); her children: Kimberly Schweiss of Gettysburg and her daughter, Jenna, of Pierre, Alan (Saydara) Nauman of Midlothian, TX and their daughters, Lindsay and Megan also of Texas; Dennis’ sons from previous marriages: Derick (Kami) Stanley and children of Gettysburg, and Michael Stanley of Pierre; sisters: Deb (Terry) Hieb of Mellette, Doris (Duane Poppen) of Aberdeen, Dianne Karber of Bancroft; several nieces and nephews; and many friends.
Preceding him in death are his father, Everett Stanley; brother, Dale Stanley; and mother, Helen Stanley, who recently passed away on June 26, 2023.
Luce Funeral Home of Gettysburg has been entrusted with Dennis’ arrangements.
