DENNIS C. Beloved husband, loving father and grandfather, faithful Catholic and faithful friend, passed away on Tuesday, July 19, 2011, at his home after a lengthy battle from cancer. Dennis was born on August 13, 1946 in San Francisco, California, to Jean E. Domnisse and Robert S. Robson. He enlisted in the Army and was stationed at Fort Wainwright, Alaska where he later received the National Defense Service Medal.

Dennis worked in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the State of New Mexico Department of Human Services as the Social Worker Supervisor, the City of Midland Parole and Probation Office and St. Stephen's Catholic Church as Pastoral Associate. Dennis was a professed Secular Franciscan for the St. Maximilian Kolbe Fraternity and served the fraternity in all capacities. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus. Dennis dedicated his life to teaching others about God. He was truly a servant for Christ. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents.
