Dennis C. Morse Click here to listen to the funeral recording. Dennis C. Morse was born on Sept. 9, 1941, to Vera Dewey and Richard Morse. He grew up in Ogden and attended Ogden High School. After four years in the Air Force, he came home and married his high school sweetheart, Dixie Douglas. He started working to support his new wife at Sears. He moved his family throughout Utah, Idaho, California, and Washington as he climbed the corporate ladder to become the District General Manager of the Western States for Sears. He and Dixie always put their family first. They were blessed with one daughter (Becky Morse Larsen-Larry) and one son (Michael Douglas Morse-Jennifer). Denny retired at age 52 and began playing. He and Dixie were blessed with 6 grandchildren - Lindsie Hill, Braxton Morse, Kelsie Hill Millet (Erick), Scott Hill (Taylor), Sydnie Morse, Daniel Hill (deceased) and 2 "greats" - Greyson and Eden Millet. Denny's number one priority throughout his life was his family. He had the kind of personality that drew everyone in. Making sure birthdays were a priority was important, and he developed a personal and close relationship with all of his family. Among his children and grandchildren, they would all include him as one of their best friends. We come to him for advice, love, support, direction, and a good hug or talk by the river. He loved his wife of 54 years, Dixie, and they were best friends. After retirement they traveled the world, and have two deeply loved homes in Ogden Canyon on the river and in St. George on a golf course. His days were filled with following the stock market, pickle ball, golf, playing cards, and connecting with his family and friends. As a family we are grateful to have shared our lives with this amazing man. He may have physically left us on the morning of July 1st, but he is forever in our hearts. He is survived by his wife, Dixie, two children, five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and three sisters; Kay Richins - Roger, Judy Reese, and Sandy Hansen - Richard.
