Dennis Clifford Diener Jr., age 50, of Escanaba, passed away at OSF Hospital in Escanaba on Tuesday, July 8, 2025.
Dennis was born on March 14, 1975 in Sault Ste. Marie, the son of Dennis Sr. And Sandra (Goodnough) Diener. Dennis enjoyed participating in community activities. He was involved in Action Club, Friends of DATA, and RICC (Regional Inclusive Community Coalition) where he would educate the community and advocate for change in adaptive equipment, transportation, and inclusion for individuals with disabilities. He worked for many years at Lakestate Industries in Escanaba and loved to sort and shred papers. Dennis had a loving, caring, larger than life personality. He enjoyed singing, hunting, and playing WII bowling with his friends. He was also a big Green Bay Packer fan and loved going to the casinos for concerts and gambling. He especially loved his family at Bridgewood Central and his extended family, the Sarasin's. He will be missed so much.
Dennis was preceded in death by his parents as well as his baby brother.

On behalf of Kevin and the entire Kuran family, we are so shocked and saddened by Dennis's passing. He was always such a bright spot in our day. Kevin looked forward to their daily bowling games, even though there were often rumblings about "cheating" from the one who lost. Loved to hear him singing because it brought him such joy - much to the chagrin of some of the other residents. We will miss his kind, pure spirit. May he rest in peace now in God's arms.
