Born on August 3, 1957, in Baltimore, Maryland, he was the son of the late Denny L. Dingus Sr. and Nola L. Dingus. Denny served in the U. S. Navy for 22 years before retiring. After retiring from the Navy, he joined the Department of Defense as a FMS Case Manager and was employed from 1998, until the time of his passing. Denny is survived by his wife Wendy Lynn Dingus; children Katie Heiser (Terence Blake), Denny L.

Of all the people he touched and of all he accomplished, his greatest achievement was his family. A devoted husband, loving father, and cherished grandfather. He was a loyal friend to all those who knew him. Denny was smart, generous, and honorable without fail. He lived well, laughed often, and loved deeply. During his lifetime, Denny was an avid woodworker who enjoyed camping, barbeque cooking, cheering on the Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Orioles and an active volunteer with the local 4H.
