He was born in Springfield, Ohio on December 12, 1953 to Walter and Patricia (O'Brien) Elix.

His passion was people in their time of need! He comforted thousands of families though their times of grief and most times would have an instant and lasting connection with them for life. One of his biggest joy's was watching his grandson, Jackson, excel in sports and education.

Dennis was a devoted parishioner of St. Joseph (Cold Spring, Ky) Catholic Church and proud 50+ year member of the Knights of Columbus, belonging to the 4th Degree Bishop Flaget Assembly. He was a co-chairman of the Catholic Charities of NKY golf outing for many years, past-president of Ft. Mitchell Kiwanis, and former member of the development committee at Bishop Brossart High School.

He was a diehard Notre Dame fan and loved going to every home game as a season ticket holder for the last 20 years. He also loved cheering on the Cincinnati Reds & Bengals and being one of Santa's helpers. Dennis cherished his annual vacations with his wife, friends and family, especially to Destin, FL.

He was preceded in death by his parents.
