ABOUT DENNIS

Dennis Henneke was an exceptional man! Dennis had a zest for life that was truly unique and inspiring. He loved life and he loved people! Everyone who knew him could easily see his outgoing, energetic, live life to the fullest nature. Dennis’ departure was sudden and unexpected, but his adventures and relationships with people he loved and who loved him could fill volumes. 

You will notice in most the photos of Dennis, he is wearing a James Avery cross pendant. This James Avery cross is very special and dear to our hearts at the Dennis Henneke Foundation. For the last 5 years of Dennis’ life here on earth he wore the “Fear Not….” Pendant. This Pendant was given to him by his good friend, Jason. Jason had throat cancer and Dennis would take off from work to be with Jason during his treatments. To thank Dennis for being there for him, Jason gave Dennis the “Fear Not…” pendant. From that day on, Dennis never took off the pendant. When Dennis was killed on April 12, 2016, Jason also gave Dennis’ brother a “Fear Not…” pendant. Like Dennis, he wears it every day and hasn’t ever taken it off. All of Dennis’ close friends now also wear the Pendant in memory of Dennis.
