Dayton—The community is deeply saddened as they prepare to say goodbye to Dennis Hughes, a man who dedicated his life to helping others. Dennis, known for his generosity and big heart, was recently diagnosed with Terminal Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Despite a brave fight, his condition deteriorated rapidly, and his family is now facing the heartbreaking task of fulfilling his final wishes.
Dennis had always been a simple man who didn’t want his family burdened with the costs of his funeral. He requested to be cremated and for a simple celebration of life to be held in his memory. Shannon Colwell, a close family member, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs associated with his final arrangements. So far, $200 has been raised towards the $2,000 goal, thanks to the kind donations of Christy Pollock, Jennifer Baker, and Natalie Henry.
The outpouring of support on social media has been overwhelming. Shannon Colwell expressed her love for Dennis, recalling how he touched the lives of many, including his children, Jesse Hughes, Taylor Hughes, and Tonya Hughes. Dustin Whaley, another family member, shared a touching tribute, saying, “Hey Pop, love you much, miss you. You mean so much to me and my brother. Love you.”
Friends and family have come together, offering prayers and support. Dee Russell, a close friend, reached out to Shannon, saying, “Shannon, I’m praying for you and him. If there’s anything I can do to help you, let me know. Sending prayers, love, and big, big hugs.”
Dennis Hughes’ passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew him, but his legacy of kindness and compassion will continue to inspire those he left behind.
We are deeply saddened to hear of Dennis Hughes’ passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
