Dennis was born in Kamloops, BC and spent his young life in the Cariboo.
He became a heavy duty mechanic and from there lived and worked through out a good part of the world.
He returned to Terrace, BC a few years ago to be with his children.
Dennis is survived by his three children, Laurie (Pete) of Terrace, Kevin of Terrace, and Indira (Kelly) of Vernon; seven grandchildren; three great grandchildren; and sister, Connie Greenall of Kamloops.
He was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Noveta Leavitt and brother, Gerry Leavitt.
The family wishes to thank everyone for all the heartfelt condolences sent to them.
A gathering and interment will be held next summer.
