Funeral services will be held at a later date for 74-year old Dennis Perkins of Pine Bluffs, Wyo.
His daughter, Angela (Perkins) Masias, sends the following notice.
I am heartbroken to announce the death of my father, Dennis Marvin Perkins. He unexpectedly passed on January 8th, 2023, at Cheyenne Regional Center.
He was born November 28th, 1949, in Alliance, NE, the son of Leonard C Perkins and Lucille E (Conrad) Perkins.
After retiring from BNSF, he enjoyed his free time gardening, beading, and hunting. He was active in the Pine Bluffs Senior Center and enjoyed arranging the local poker games.
In addition to his parents, Dennis was predeceased by siblings Dinah Perkins, Dalene June (Perkins) and David Perkins.
He is survived by his daughter Angela (Perkins) Masias and son Andrew Perkins, 5 grandchildren, siblings Daniel Perkins, Dolly (Perkins) Leatherman, and Deborah (Perkins) Smith, and their respective families.
He will be sadly missed and will always hold a place in our hearts.
I am grateful I got to meet Dennis and know him for the short period of time that I did. I met him here at housing in Hay Springs where we both lived. He was truly a very kind hearted guy who would give you the shirt off his back as long as you didn’t mistreat him. He lived to talk about the goings on in the world and about his grand babies. I’m terribly sorry for the family he leaves behind. He was such a gift.
I was a neighbor for several years in Hay Springs. Dennis was such a great guy. Always willing to help anyone who needed it. RIP
