Dennis A. Yaple

By Lisa Ace


Dennis A. Yaple. With much sorrow, we announce the passing of Dennis A. Yaple, a hardworking, quiet, family man, who left us on April 19, 2023, from a broken heart after his beloved wife, Diane, passed away in 2021.

Born on January 31, 1948, in Buffalo NY, he was known for his work ethic and love for his family.  Dennis enjoyed simple pleasures, like a cold beer at any time of day. For the past 25 years, he cherished his Wednesday afternoon visits to the VFW Beachhead with his son-in-law, Kevin.

He is survived by his loving children Denise (Andrew) Young, Danielle (Kevin) Riggs, Lynette (Dan) Beaumont; adoring grandchildren Branden, Jacob, Alix, Nick, Lauren, Macie, Gavin, Andrew, and Joie; brother Lynn (Kathy) Yaple; mother-in-law Rita Amend; sister-in-law Kathy (Volker) Schaal; brother-in-law Karl (Roxanne) Amend; and several nieces and nephews.

Predeceased by his wife and sister Sandy Baker, Dennis's memory lives on through his loved ones.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the VFW Beachhead in Alexander at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, May 10th. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice in Dennis's name.
