Dennis graduated from Youngstown State University with a degree in Psychology and had a successful career in sales. He was a Veteran of the US Air Force having served from July 1964 to 1970. A strong family man, Dennis rarely missed his two sons sporting events and spent many years coaching their soccer teams. In his free time, Dennis was an avid reader. He enjoyed taking family and friends out on his boat. He will be remembered for his witty gift of gab and storytelling talents. In their retirement, he and Karen enjoyed many cruises and trips through Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States. His Irish heritage was a source of pride and he made multiple trips to Ireland to visit family.
Dennis is survived by his wife of 55 years, Karen Bailey Brown; two sons, Scott (Juliana) and Kevin (Amy); four grandchildren; Valentina, Samantha, Connor, and Eliza; and two brothers, Donald and Terry. He is predeceased by his parents, Walter and Catherine Varley Brown.
