He was a kind, loving, and giving man whom will be dearly missed by those who knew him. Dennis was born on Aug. 18, 1971 to the late Dennis and Carole (LaLonde) Pahlkotter in Alpena. Dennis was a graduate of Alpena High School where he earned the nickname of “Packer” while playing football. Dennis went on to graduate from Wyotech University where he obtained his degree.

There were many things that Dennis enjoyed in life such as, hunting, fishing, woodworking, and being involved in the sportsmen’s club.
