Well Dennis it's February 2019 and I miss you even more now. I sit back and smile sometimes imagining you in heaven playing to a sold-out stadium. The crowd is screaming and hollering really screaming and hollering and there are lighters lit everywhere. 80000 people pack that stadium and every one of them knows your name. Not only your name they know your music deal and you've had like 50 number one hits. Dad's there Poppies there. Dale Reeves he's right beside you on stage. One day I'll be in the front row Dennis screaming and hollering and holding my lighter high. Until then brother keep the music going. Tell Dad I love him Granny and Pop to. Mom misses you a lot. She'll be there to see you. We don't want to let her go quite yet. But when we do I know you'll be there to greet her at the gates you and Dad. Drop a penny for me. See ya soon.

Dennis you will be dearly missed by your family of musicians and friends here. We will never forget you or your wonderful song writing. Your CD was stuck in my car player for over 4 years and every time I started the car it would start playing. You gained great respect as a musician, songwriter and a friend. Condolences to all the family members and friends touched by his great soul. Peace my friend.

To the Maxwell Family,
My heart aches to know how you feel on the loss of someone so amazing, so special in all of our eyes. I just wish I could take each of your pains away and know that He's in so much more of a better place than we are and one day we will all be with him again. Until then just remember he's free.. A Free Bird. I love you all very much and Im here to offer my support and love.

Dennis was a good friend of mine since working together at Chrysler. I really enjoyed the music we shared together, from travelling to see one of our favorite bands, Boston, to hearing him play in Murphy'z Law, to passing CDs back and forth. Although I haven't seen him since the Chrysler plant closed and he transferred. I thought of him often and thought of calling him.... now I wish I had. So sad to see such a great guy gone too soon. I will miss you my friend. My thoughts are with the family in your time of sorrow.
