Dennis's obituary
Dennis Lee Tyrrell passed away surrounded by love, leaving behind a legacy of connection, laughter, and devotion to family. He was married for 21 wonderful years to the love of his life, Joanne Tyrrell, whose partnership and companionship meant everything to him.
Dennis is survived by his beloved wife Joanne; his daughter Julie, and her husband Kiyoshi; his sister Janice; and his step-children Ryan (married to Terrie), Traci (married to Salvador), and Jon. He was a proud and loving grandfather to his cherished grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and purpose.
Dennis had a rare gift: he could strike up a conversation with absolutely anyone. Whether with a lifelong friend or a complete stranger, he made people feel seen, heard, and welcomed. His warmth, humor, and easygoing nature left a lasting impression wherever he went.
A passionate and unwavering fan of the Seattle Seahawks, Dennis proudly wore his team loyalty on his sleeve. Game days were sacred, and his enthusiasm was contagious—win or lose, he stayed faithful to his team, just as he did to the people he loved.
Above all else, Dennis will be remembered as a devoted husband, a loving father and stepfather, a proud grandfather, and a man whose kindness and openness brought people together. He will be deeply missed and forever held in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
