Michael Dennis

On Tuesday, January 17th 2023, Mike Dennis passed away unexpectedly while at work at the Anderson’s Grain Division.

Mike was a loving and devoted son, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend. Mike will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him.

Mike was born in Toledo on September 11th 1961 to Ben and Jane Dennis. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Leo. He is survived by his sister Lynne (Terry) Cousino, nephews and nieces Ben (Alli) Cousino, Liz (Tom) Velker, Haley (Isaiah) Miller, and Alec (Lexi) Dennis, and great nephews and nieces Jack, Anna, John, Ainsley, Charlie, Tomlyn, and Axel.

Mike loved the outdoors, especially fishing trips to Canada and vacations at the beach. He was also a world-class morel mushroom hunter with his best friend, Scott Hall. Mike had a heart of gold, always kind, caring and thoughtful, but loved a good practical joke.

Mike graduated from Springfield High School in 1980 and has worked for The Anderson’s, originally at the Maumee store, and then at the grain division on the river for over 30 years. Mike loved his friends at work and never got over the tragic loss of two dear friends in a 2019 grain elevator accident.

Some places you could always be sure to see Mike’s face were in the gallery at the Sylvania LPGA Golf Tournament, in the stands at the BGSU Ladies basketball games, in the pew every Sunday at St. Patrick’s of Heatherdowns, and every morning at the Mayberry Diner in South Toledo.

Friends will be received Tuesday, January 24, 2023, from 2-8 P.M. at Maison-Dardenne-Walker Funeral Home (501 Conant St. Maumee, OH 43537). A funeral mass will be held Wednesday, January 25, 2023, at 10:30 A.M. at St. Joseph Catholic Church (104 W. Broadway St. Maumee, OH 43537). Memorial contributions in Mike’s memory can be made to the American Red Cross or St. Joseph Catholic Church.
