Dennis Alan Kane

Dennis was born and raised in Colorado and although his family moved first to Illinois and then California for his last couple of years in high school he always remained a Colorado boy. After graduation he joined the Navy and served three tours in Vietnam. Exposed to Agent Orange he suffered the effects for the last 30 years of his life as a service connected disabled vet.

Dennis was a single parent for 13 years raising his son Sean and daughter Trina, coaching Little League baseball and Pop Warner Football. He was very proud of his players, the Vacaville Bulldogs and took them to championships several times. He remained friends with his "guys" continuing on social media until his death. Dennis owned several successful businesses but it was the last, Dennis from Durango that was his passion. He was a Master Leathersmith and his work can be found in five continents. He was loved and respected by all who knew him.

He met and married the love of his life, Kathy who was a single parent raising her daughters Shannon and Brittany. He was and will always be the love of her life. This blended family became one. Dennis leaves his wife and four children, six grandchildren, Saundra and Seth Kane, Miranda and Dillon Akerman and Aileen and Henry Gienapp and one great-granddaughter, Moneli Kane.

Dennis will return to Colorado to have his ashes scattered across the Rocky Mountains that he loved so dearly.
