    • Obituary:

      Richard "Dick" Jefferson Dennis, 54, of Celebration, Florida, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, October 8, 2012. Graveside funeral services will be held at Auburn Memorial Park Cemetery at 11 a.m. on Friday, October 12, 2012, with Dr. George Mathison officiating. Visitation will be held prior to the service at Fredericks Funeral Home from 9:30 until 10:30 am.

      He was born in Decatur on October 13, 1957, to Bill and Bettye Dennis. He graduated from Decatur High School in 1976 and followed his dream to play football for Auburn University. While his knee injuries interrupted his football career, his love for Auburn University never wavered. He graduated in 1980 with a B.S. in Industrial Management. He lived and worked in business in the Orlando area. He was a proud and loving father to his three daughters.

      Richard is survived by his daughters, Alexandra Elizabeth, Faith Elizabeth and Jordan Ann; his parents, William Lee "Bill" Dennis Sr. and Bettye Brackeen Dennis of Decatur; his brother, William "Lee" (Leona) Dennis Jr. and sister, Anna Dennis (Greg) Solomon; the mother of their children, Liz Lange Dennis; cousins, Jaye Dennis and Leigh Dennis (Chip) Manning; nephews, Clark Solomon and Will Dennis; nieces, Marianna Dennis (Bill) Frankwitt and Leigh Anna Solomon; and great-nephew, Haven Frankwitt.

      Pallbearers will be Clark Solomon and Will Dennis, and friends, Mark Daily, Bobby Demoss, Mike Dishman, Scott Hagood, Bob Hamilton and Ronnie Hughes.

      While our hearts are broken by our earthly loss, we rejoice in our Lord who comforts us in our time of pain while welcoming Dick into His kingdom.

      A memorial service will be held on Sunday, October 14, 2012, at 3 p.m. at Community Presbyterian Church in Celebration, Florida.
