In Loving Memory of Dennis Stepp

On the night of November 5th, our family suffered an unimaginable loss when Dennis Stepp passed away suddenly, most likely from a heart attack. What makes it harder to believe is that just days before, he told his wife Diane he felt better than he had in years. That Sunday was a normal day; Dennis worked around the house, called his son Joe, gave Diane a kiss goodnight, and peacefully passed away in his sleep.

Dennis was a man with a heart as big as his hands were skilled. A gifted mechanic by trade, he could fix just about anything, and if you knew him, you knew he wouldn’t stop until it was done right. He loved fishing, airshows featuring the Blue Angels, and every animal he met as if it were family. He spent years helping others, whether through EMS, charity rides with his biker family, or simply being there when someone needed him.

Dennis leaves behind his loving wife, Diane; his children, Denise (and her husband Nobel) with their three children Gianna, Kara Lynn, and Elli; and his son Joseph (and husband Camden). He is also survived by his brothers Bobby and Richard, and joins in heaven his parents, Viola and Joe, and his brother James.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help cover funeral, memorial, and cremation costs. Unfortunately, Dennis’s life insurance policy is being disputed, leaving the family to shoulder the unexpected financial burden. Any remaining funds will be donated to charities Dennis would have loved and supported.

Our family is heartbroken, but we take comfort in knowing how many lives Dennis touched through his kindness, generosity, and love. If you’re able to contribute or even share this page, it would mean the world to us as we honor his life and give him the memorial he deserves.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this difficult time.
