Barry Dennis

— Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His godly ones.“ 

Psalm 116:15 NASB 

  On Sunday, September 22, 2019, Barry Dennis, husband, father, son and brother, passed away  after a brief illness at the age of 65 years.     

Barry was born on October 22, 1953 in Prince Rupert, BC to Earl and Mary Dennis. The family  moved to Nanaimo, BC three years later, where he grew up. At the age of 18 years, with his wife  and first son, Barry moved to Kitimat, BC where they lived for the next 16 years and where four  more children were born. In 1988, the family relocated to Courtenay to own and operate Mission  Possible Appliances. In the early 2000s, after passing on Mission Possible to three of his grown  sons, Barry owned and operated several more businesses including an AlarmForce franchise in  southern Vancouver Island and, most recently, C.V. Metal Products, which is currently run by  one of his sons. Barry was a man who loved his Lord and Saviour. He worshiped and served at  Elim Gospel Chapel since relocating to the Comox Valley.     

Barry will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Cathy, and his five children, Shane (Patti),  Stephanie (Ian), Alec, Luke and Drew (Maria). He will also fondly be remembered by his thirteen  grandchildren, Stephanie, Olivia, Jade, Avarie, Jordan, Alyssa, Andon, Aaron, Jaxson, Sydney,  Eli, Sawyer and Meadow as well as his two great­grandchildren, Faye and Oaklan. He will also  be forever remembered by his mother, Mary, his siblings, Geraldine (John), Owen, Tamme and  Tracy as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and in­laws. Barry was predeceased by  his father, Earl, in 2003.   

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 28, 2019, at 1:00 pm, at Elim Gospel  Chapel, 566 5th Street, Courtenay, BC. A reception will follow at the same location.
