Dennis Ray Behrens, 74

Dennis Ray Behrens (Denny, Papa), 74, of Kettle Falls, Wash., and Clark Fork, Idaho, sadly left us on December 9, 2023.

Dennis died suddenly while doing what he loved working on the ranch where he grew up. Many thanks to the friends that were with him and the many professionals who did everything they could to keep him here with us. Everyone loved Denny, he enjoyed having coffee at the local gathering place, would help anyone who asked, or even if you didn’t ask, was a man of few words, yet always had some sort of joke or prank he wanted to pull off. 

Denny left a hole in many hearts when he left this world including his loving wife of nearly 50 years, Diana; his daughters, Anita (Dennis) and Marsha (Brett); seven grandchildren, Wesley (Megan), Tyler (Kimber), Karissa (Tosh), Kayli, Keenan (Katiejo), Lexi (Ben) and Kameron (Rebekah); and eight great-grandchildren; as well as his sister, Susan; and brother, Jack. He had numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who were like family. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents John and Helen and his brother Dale.

A celebration of life will be planned and announced later.
