Dennis Eugene White, Sr. died Friday, December 4, 2020 at his Bovill home He was 74.
Dennis was born December 30, 1945 in Moscow to Kenneth “Fatts” and Verina Harris White. The family lived in Bovill, where he was a lifelong resident. He grew up and went to school in Bovill and graduated from Deary High School in 1964. He served in the National Guard for several years. Dennis worked for various gypos in the area driving truck and as a sawyer.
In Dennis’ growing up years in Bovill he was known and “Dennis The Menace”, and lived up to it daily. Later he was known as a “dumpster diver” where he found many treasures – so he said!
He was always ready for a drink with friends and would give you the shirt off his back if he liked you. Dennis was a cantankerous ole fart in his later years. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, collecting antiques and riding around in his 1966 multi-million dollar Chevy convertible.
He married Sherry Browning from Deary in August 1967 and later divorced. Together they had two sons, Dennis White Jr. (Wendy) of Spokane and Dock (Kari) White of Edgewood, WA.

Dennis was preceded in death by his parents, his older brother, Kenny in 2017 as did his long-time companion Cora Lee Wood in 2003.
The family would like to thank his caregiver of 5 years, Rhonda Procell – “Dolly” as he called her.
