Dennis Charles Pease was born April 9, 1941, in Sioux Falls, SD, to Clark and Vivian (Skyberg) Pease. He attended Washington Senior High School. Dennis worked occasionally at short-term janitor and laborer employment but, due to a developmental disability, did not have a full time career.
Dennis was diagnosed at an early age with schizophrenia, and never married. Dennis was a highly intelligent man who loved learning about the climate and geography of the world’s nations. He was very clever at making anagrams of the names of people and things. Dennis was friendly and talkative and was known at Palisade Healthcare as their “greeter”, from his habit of chatting with people who entered the facility. He was helpful and caring toward the other residents and would help with the weekly bingo games.
Grateful for having shared his life is his brother, John Pease, of Rock Valley, IA. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Diane Buccholtz.
John is requesting that memorials be made to the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, nami.org.
Visitation will be from 1:00 to 3:00 PM on Sunday, September 22, at Miller Funeral Home, 507 S. Main Ave., and a Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, September 23, at Miller Funeral Home.
