Dennis George Alger
1942 - 2020
Early Life: Dennis was born February 27, 1942, in a little house in Provo, Utah, to Keith Simmons Alger and Zelma Turner Alger. He joined big brother David (Jeanette), and later, gaining a sister, Kris (Ron). Dennis was a true Provo kid, attending school at Timpanogos Elementary, Dixon Jr. High, Provo High, and Brigham Young University.
Life’s Work | Service | Interests: He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Germany and loved his time among the German saints. After attending BYU, he got an exciting job opportunity in Pasadena, California. He totally enjoyed living in Pasadena and the friends he made there. In time, he returned to Provo.
❦ Upon his return, he worked at Keith’s Lunch with his father and mother. He cherished the time he spent working alongside them. He became excellent at preparing the well-known and loved chicken fried steaks! Dennis enjoyed cooking them for his family every Father’s Day or as a requested birthday dinner!
❦ On October 25, 1982, he was married and sealed to his wife and best friend, Kathy Evans, in the Jordan River Temple by Elder Neal A. Maxwell. They have four cheerful children: Katie Jane, Buddy (Jenny), Mary (Jake), and Turner. Together they enjoyed laughing around the dinner table, wildly competitive games of UNO, road trips to Leeds, and Disneyland.
❦ At the time of his death, he is papa to five wonderful grandchildren: Buddy, Bexley, Ruby, Liam, and Charley. Dennis totally enjoyed being papa! Watching soccer games, dance concerts, coloring, jokes, and enjoying sweets together.
❦ He loved animals especially dogs. Because of this, he and his family were never without one. He had a sweet spot for Mickey Mouse, a good plaid (his favorite color), ice cream at bedtime, a good book, a tasty cheeseburger, and Diet Coke!
❦ On March 27, 2020, he celebrated 39 years of sobriety! Dennis proudly shared his story and journey of recovery. One of his greatest passions was helping young addicts and alcoholics in their recovery.
❦ Dennis was a talented interior designer. He loved being around fabrics, wallpapers, furniture, and artwork. He enjoyed and participated in the Parade of Homes for many years and won many awards. He fulfilled service missions at the MTC and as a facilitator for twelve-step meetings with Kathy. Dennis loved the Lord and shared his testimony of His goodness and power often. He had a gift and talent of making those he associated with feel loved. He made friends wherever he went no matter how brief the interaction. Knowing Dennis meant you loved him and he loved you! Sweet, witty, and loving husband, dad, papa, and friend, Dennis George Alger passed from this life Saturday, May 2, 2020, and was greeted and embraced by many loved ones. He was 78.
Family Message: "We are thankful to know our Dennis is now free from the dementia in which he suffered and fought so valiantly. We know and have hope through and because of our Savior, Jesus Christ, that when we are with him again he will fully be Dennis!"
