Dennis Landeros

Dennis Landeros was born February 4, 1955 to Jose and Clara. A lifelong Tucsonan he attended Tucson High playing football, part of the 1971 state championship team. Professionally Dennis worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad and as a teacher until finally finding his passion in the fitness industry. He quickly became a fixture at The Fountains at La Cholla working with seniors as a fitness instructor.

Happiest with a fishing rod in his hands Dennis enjoyed all things outdoors, sports and helping people around him. More recently you’d find him side-by-side with his dog, Dakota, and spoiling his granddaughter as ‘Papa.’

Dennis was preceded in death by his parents, Jose and Clara Landeros. Survived by daughter Keely (Frank) Perlich, granddaughter Nola Perlich, son Joel Landeros, sister Jo Ann Anthony, brother James (Brenda) Landeros, his nieces, nephew and the many friends he made throughout the Tucson community.

Dennis was the most loving and giving father and grandpa, he is missed more than words can describe.

An open house style memorial will be held on June 12 2-5pm in the Santa Catalina room, La Paloma.
