Dear Family & Friends,
This memorial site invites you to tell the stories, share photographs and videos, as well as Dennis' favorite music. Together, we honor and remember the life of my son. This memorial will be here for you to add to it at any time.
Denny, as he was known to friends and family, is preceded in death by his grandparents: Earl Slape and Zela Morse. He is survived by his wife Mickee Slape, sister Michelle Jansson, as well as his two step-sisters: Bridget Willard and Heather McCann. He also leaves behind his parents: Father, Dennis Earl Slape, mother Linda Buchanan, and Maria Slape his step-mother. Denny has a large extended family of cousins, aunts, and uncles as well as friends who will miss him dearly.
Born in Santa Clara, California, Denny lived in Sacramento, Dunsmuir, Mendocino, Mountain View, and near Mt. Shasta. He also enjoyed living in Hawaii, Lacey, WA, and Anchorage, AK.
Our special thoughts and prayers go out to John and his father Jim. We thank all of our friends and family who have called, sent cards, or stopped by. It means more to us than we can convey. Also, special thanks to Bridget for her help with edits and support in building this memorial.
Denny's life had its good times and bad times -- like most of our own lives -- but he could not overcome his struggle with alcoholism. Let us all reach out to seek help and counseling when we need it.
In hopes to save a Life, We kindly requests that donations be made to
Support the National Suicide Prevention Lifelinehttps://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/donate/Sharing our memories with Dennis on this site is our opportunity to heal. And we respectfully ask for discretion and privacy.
Thank you.
Dennis & Maria Slape
