LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Dennis Day passed away peacefully on Dec. 6, 2022, surrounded by his family.

He fought a long and difficult battle with bone cancer.

Dennis served in the Navy on a carrier war ship where he accepted Jesus as his savior.

He was able to travel the world on a Young Men’s Christian Association around the world tour in 1964.

Dennis then began a 32-year career with the phone company where he met his bride of 52 years, Jackie.

He loved the outdoors and all that God created. He backpacked for many years with good friends and had many adventures with them.

Through the years, he was able to travel extensively with his wife, where they met many wonderful lifelong friends.

The annual trip he continued, even through COVID, was to Sea Otter Sound Lodge in Alaska where he fished for 28 years.

He selflessly served his community and his church, and ensured his family and friends knew how much he loved them, through spending time with them; and being there when they needed help.

2 Timothy 4:7: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

Dennis is survived by his wife Jackie; daughter, Heather; and dog, Duke.
