I was fortunate to be paired with Dennis on an ASP trip to Flagpond, TN. His selfless giving was contagious. He was so good with the youth. I have a vision of Dennis in the parking lot of the school we were staying down on his knees, finger painting on big murals of paper with all the youth. It brought tears then as well as now. God Bless You, Dennis for ALL you gave to our church and community.
Your friends and colleagues at Iowa State thank you for the years of service and all the students, staff, and faculty you helped. You will not be forgotten.
ASP is saddened to learn of the passing of Dennis Byrne.
The commitment of volunteers like Dennis has helped to shape and mold the ministry into what it is today. We are so very grateful for the witness of service that Dennis shared while serving with the others from Collegiate UMC. The impact has been far reaching as well as immediately beneficial. Please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your team member.
With blessings and peace.
We have fond memories of Dennis on the many youth mission trips we participated in together. On one trip to Arizona Dennis and a youth had an eating contest. It ending in a tie after double digit hamburgers were consumed!
God bless you Dennis, we will miss you.
