Dennis Perkins Obituary
Dennis found joy in his girls, his grandchildren and great grandchildren, in serving others, teaching God's Word, in music and of course his wife of 60 years, Mariel.
Dennis was always a "Salesman" and sold everything from infant formula to Real Estate which is what he retired doing. He was a long-time resident of Austin and Kyle, Texas but was born in Lakeville, Indiana. His family moved to Kalamazoo Michigan when he was young, and he stayed there until 1980.
Dennis (Denny) is survived by his beautiful wife Mariel, his daughters Dawn (Peter) and Kellee (Jeremie), seven grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He would often say he was a "Blessed" man!
Services will be held at Bannockburn Church in South Austin on March 29, 2025, at 10:30 a.m.
