July 1, 1965 – November 3, 2011
Dennis Todd Shopbell, 46, of
Clifton, CO, passed away unexpectedly
at his home of an aortic

Lord on November 3, 2011.
Dennis was born July 1, 1965 to
Bonnie and Robert “Skip” Shopbell
in Clarkston, WA. He attended
Central High School.
Dennis was a loving father, son,
brother, uncle, and a loyal friend.
Dennis enjoyed fishing, camping, watching football, barbecuing,
and spending time with his children, family and friends. He was especially
known to be a wonderful cook with a specialty of cooking a
mean pan-fried steak, gourmet salads, and the favorite cook at
hunting camp. One could always count on Dennis to be the life of
the party as he had a wonderful sense of humor and his loving spirit
always came through.
Dennis was a very caring person, trusted in, and prayed to the Lord
to get him through anything. He loved his children deeply and they
were everything to shim. He also had a unique bond with animals in
which he had a language with them all his own.
He is preceded in death by his father, Robert Edward Shopbell;
paternal grandparents, Wava and Charles Shopbell; and maternal
grandparents, Helen and Wayne Bartlett.
