Age 72, passed away on Friday morning, February 16, 2024. Dennis was born in Kalamazoo on January 2, 1952, the son of Harry Thomas and Katherine (Jancasz) Althuis. On January 30, 1976, he married Nancy Hoekman who survives him. Dennis was a lover of classic and vintage vehicles. As a comic book fan and collector, he attended many ComiCon conventions. He loved Star Trek and WWE wrestling, never missing an episode of either. He enjoyed travelling to visit his sister Evon, making sure to stop at a couple casinos along the way. As a great conversationalist, he was a natural at handing out samples at Costco in his retirement. Dennis was a giving person; nothing was more important than helping family and friends. Besides his wife, Dennis is survived by his children, Jessica (Derek) Albrecht, Justin (Katie) Althuis; grandson, Jackson Albrecht; brother, Vincent Mizeur; sisters, Joyce Larabee and Evon Nuss; several nieces and nephews; and many, many friends.
