Dennis Scott Dearing

Dennis Scott Dearing, age 60 passed away October 6th, 2019 at Blount Memorial Hospital in Maryville, Tennessee surrounded by his family. He was born March 21, 1959 in Champaign, Illinois.

He has 7 grandkids and 2 siblings; David and Lisa.

Dennis is preceded in death by his parents, Scotty and Mary Jane.

Dennis walked to the beat of his own drum. He followed no one and never met a stranger. He was an avid motorcycle enthusiast, very talented guitarist and proud owner of the Dragon Pitt Inn. Dennis knew no fear. If it had wheels-he was riding it. If there was a trail-he was exploring it. If there was a hole in the wall band playing-he was going to it. He was the best maintenance man, there was nothing he couldn’t fix. Dennis enjoyed life to the fullest. He will surely be missed by many.

Dennis served in the United States Navy.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
