Dennis graduated from Strong Vincent High School and went on to proudly serve his country in the United States Marine Corps.

Following his military service, Dennis built a long and successful career in the automotive industry, where he developed countless relationships and friendships that lasted a lifetime. He was known for his strong work ethic, unwavering loyalty, and exceptional integrity. A man of his word, Dennis believed in doing what was right, treating others with respect, and always standing behind his commitments.

Dennis was a member of American Legion Post #773 and had a lifelong love of sports. Throughout the years, he enjoyed baseball, softball, bowling, and golf. He especially valued the camaraderie, laughter, and lifelong friendships that came from the things he loved.

Above all, Dennis was a devoted father and grandfather who would do anything for his family. He was a strong, hardworking man who demonstrated his love not only through words, but through his actions and his unwavering willingness to be there for those he loved. His family could always count on him, and he took great pride in being someone they could depend on. The strength, loyalty, and values he carried throughout his life will remain a lasting part of his legacy and live on through the family he loved so deeply.

In addition to his parents, Dennis was preceded in death by his brothers, Dave and Phil Carne.

He is survived by his five children, Hillary Carne, Alison Carne (Matthew Graham), Samantha McClintock (Jason McClintock), Patrick Carne (Jamie Cacchione), and Andrew Carne. He is further survived by his beloved grandchildren, John, Elaina, and Joey Sajdak, and their father, Jason Sajdak; Dylan and Carter Rathmann, and their father, Steven Rathmann; and Svea and Kajsa McClintock.

The many friendships he maintained throughout his life were a testament to the kind of man he was and the lasting impression he left on those around him.
