January 29, 2026
Steven Alfred Dennis, age
69 of Pelican Rapids, MN was
born April 15, 1956, in
Rollette, ND was sent to his
eternal home on January 10,
2026, at Sanford Medical
Center in Fargo, ND, due to
complications from Leukemia.
He will be sadly missed and
fondly remembered by all
who know and love him.
Steve, as he was
affectionately known, was an extraordinary human being.
His passing has left a huge hole in the hearts of his family
and many friends. We ask that you remember him not for the
tragic way his life ended, but for the way he lived it. Steve
had a profound impact on the lives of those who had the
pleasure to know him.
After Steve’s graduation from high school in 1974 from
Pelican Rapids High School, he held various types of sales
and service jobs. At various times in his life he worked for
Mac’s Surplus, ServiceMaster, and Home Depot. He also
founded and operated a surplus sales store that he fondly
named Screamen Steve’s.
Outside of the various jobs that he held, Steve enjoyed
traveling, games of chance, watching sports, fishing, and
hunting. Steve loved family gatherings with his loving
family. His family is so grateful that he was able to
participate in a Christmas gathering a few weeks before his
death. Steve also owned numerous pets during his life. At
the time of his death, the joy of his life were his two puppies
Bella and Zena. As per Steve’s wishes his puppies will be
lovingly cared for by his brother.
Steve was preceded in death by his parents Raymond and
Joyce Dennis; brother Michael Dennis; sister-in-law Faye
Dennis; sister Judy Pederson and brother-in-law Lyle
Pederson.
Steve is survived by his brother Charles (Marsha) Dennis;
aunt Marlys Beguhn; and numerous nieces, nephews, and
cousins.
There are no words to express how grateful we are to the
family and friends who sat with Steve during the several
days in the ICU prior to his passing.
Although Steve’s physical presence may no longer be felt,
his beautiful spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May
his memory be a blessing and may we continue to carry in
our hearts the love and compassion that he had for his family
and many friends.
Celebration of Life service will be conducted in honor of
Steve on Saturday, February 7th, 2026 at Larson Funeral and
Cremation Service of Pelican Rapids beginning with a
visitation at 11am and formal services
starting at 12pm. A time of food and
fellowship will immediately follow, with
Steve's inurnment taking place at Ringsaker
