He was a man who had many adventures and much talent at various things. He was a woodcarving artist and teacher, he taught karate, coached Little League baseball, obtained his gunsmithing degree and was an avid golfer. So avid that in 2019 he golfed, 257 days out of the year!

Dennis was preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by his wife Pegi Beaudoin of Ronan, his son Jason Beaudoin and wife Christy of Superior, his son Loren Beaudoin and wife Marty of Kalispell, grandchildren Paxton, Jacob, Owen, Lyla and Gia, and his only sister Nancy and husband Roger Nafziger of Tomball, Texas.

Graveside services for immediate family will be held at Fairview Cemetery in Kalispell per his wishes.
