Dennis Joe Verhey was the youngest child born to Peter and Metje (Alblas) Verhey, on December 10, 1959, in Grinnell, Iowa.
Dennis attended Sully Christian Grade School and was a 1978 graduate of Pella Christian High School.
Dennis loved the What Cheer Flea Market and was a vendor for 38 years. Swap meets, auctions, and “up-cycling” junk brought him immense joy. He was a die-hard New Orleans Saints fan since their inception in 1967. When his daughter became a Hawkeye, so did Dennis and Sharon. He also loved his black cats, traveling with his family, and watching movies. He filled his life with friends and family. Always ready with a smile.
Those left to cherish his memory are his wife Sharon and their family: Matthew Verhey of Kansas City, Missouri, and Nicole and Collin Knoll, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Dennis is also survived by his father-in-law Kenneth McGregor, his siblings: Mary Miller, Micky Dunsbergen, Gerrit Verhey, Pam (Abe) Verhey, Pete (Carol) Verhey, Nellie (Mark) Vander Schel, and Randy (Linda) Verhey; and his siblings-in-law: Janet (Kevin) Borts, Jean McGregor and Dakota, Kathleen (Frank) Vander Broek, and Donna (Monte) Busselman.
Dennis was preceded in death by his parents Peter and Metje Verhey, mother-in-law Charlene McGregor, brother Abe Verhey, sister Elizabeth Sneller, sisters-in-law Linda Verhey and Carolyn McGregor, and brothers-in-law: Jerald Sneller, Dick Dunsbergen, and Walter Miller.
