    I considered Dennis my brother and we shared many great experiences together. He always made me laugh and smile with his quick wit and charm. He was a kind soul. I hope he and my mom reconnect in a better place. She loved him too.

    I’ll miss you my brother!

    I met Dennis back in 7th grade, we were good friends all through school, Dennis was a great guy who always kept you laughing, we lived just a couple of miles apart and hung out often. He will be most definitely missed and remembered.

    Dennis and I have been friends since we were kids. I seen him every Sunday in Mass with his mom,4sons and a daughter. I was there with my mom and my 4 brothers. We had a lot in common and always had a special connection. We went our separate ways and we both had are own beautiful families. As life would have it…we ran into each other at the Nite Cap,right after both our fathers had died. We’ve been together ever since. He was a special soul. He always made everyone laugh. I have two grandbabies that he helped me raise for their first years. They loved their “Papa”very much. My life is going to be a whole lot emptier and might I add…boring…withouthim. He really is the love of my life. He is indeed up there making everyone laugh and trying to take over. His two kids were his absolute pride and joy and I know he is their guardian angels now.

    I pretty much grew up in the Rousseau house and spent many many days hanging out with Dennis personally on countless occasions for years. This one hits hard. Going to
    miss all the laughs we had together and his awesome sarcasm. Say hello to Scott, Archie and sweet sister Mary for me. Until we meet again my friend 🙏🏻

    Prayers to the Rousseau family. I spent my way younger years hanging with Kevin and got to know the rest of the family. Plus my older brother hung with both Scott and Dennis. Dennis could always make you laugh. I ran into him while he was working at Meijer and Art Van and he had to make me laugh with some story. His laughter will be missed.

    Prayers to the Rousseau family. So many memories of Dennis growing up! His laughter, smile, and sense of humor were infectious! Gone way too young, I know Scott was there to greet you and I hope you are at peace. You will be missed and thought of often with a smile and fond memories.
