1941 – 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Husband, Dad and Papa who left us on March 2, 2025, at the age of 83. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife Patricia Coventry, and his sons Ken Coventry (Stephanie) and Donnie Coventry (Teena). He will also be remembered by his step-children Terri Buchberger (Billy), Kevin Gagnon (Dana), Kenny Preston (Amandeep) and Mathew Preston. He will be missed by his grandchildren Karley Coventry (Justin), Katie Williamson (Devon), Mitchell Coventry, Cooper Coventry (Emma), Riley Coventry, Cash Coventry and Jett Coventry.
Dennis (Dad) had a love for the outdoors, finding joy in fishing, hunting, making maple syrup at camp and spending time in nature. He was a fan of old western movies and Star Trek. He had a passion for history and loved sharing his knowledge and wisdom about events of the past. He never shied away from a good political debate, always standing firm in his opinions and enjoying lively discussions with anyone willing to share in the conversation. He had a great sense of humour and could tell a funny story like no one else. His infectious laughter and witty tales would make even the simplest moments memorable. As a father and papa, he taught us that if you want something, you have to work hard for it. His curiosity, wisdom, sense of humour and value for hard work will live on in his children and grandchildren.
A visitation will be held on Friday, March 7th, 2025, at O'Sullivan Funeral Home (215 St. James St, SSM) from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. where friends and family can come together to remember Dennis. A service will be held at 2:00 pm with Rev. Glen Eagle officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Sault Area Hospital Cancer Care Fund (payable online or by cheque) would be appreciated.
Rest in peace Dad (Papa). You will forever remain in our hearts, cherished and remembered with love.
