Dennis Robert Collier

1959-2019

Dennis Robert Collier passed peacefully in his sleep in the early morning of September 15, 2019. He was born on August 2, 1959 to Irene and Dennis Collier in San Diego, California. Dennis and his wife Sue were married for 31 years. They had three children, Jessica, Kevin, and Christopher. Family was the most important focus of his life.

He shared his love of dirt bikes, snow/water skiing, scuba diving, hiking and camping with them. He truly relished the time he spent with them. He was an active participant in all of the activities his children were involved in. Dennis was a dedicated son. He took care of his parents in the later part of their lives. While undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer, he tended to his ailing father until he passed. Upon his father’s passing, he welcomed his mother, Irene, into his home. Dennis cared for her for five years until she passed in July of 2018. Family and friends were welcomed into Dennis’s home for varying lengths of time. He was always willing to help those in times of need. He was a kind soul who selflessly helped others whenever he could. He made his corner of the world a brighter, kinder place to be. He was a gentle friend to all.

Despite the physical challenges as a result of his cancer treatment, Dennis never let go of his zest for life. He was camping in the desert with his son, Kevin, and treasured friends when he passed. He continued doing what he loved until the end.

Dennis was preceded in death by his parents, Dennis and Irene, and daughter Jessica Brooke. It is a comfort to know they are now reunited.

Dennis is survived by his wife Sue, their sons, Kevin and Christopher, siblings, Christopher, Mike, Theresa, and many beloved nieces and nephews.
