Dennis Geary Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kisselburg-Wauconda Funeral Home on Oct. 20, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Dennis "Denny" Geary, a proud Navy veteran, devoted father, and lifelong Chicago sports fan, passed away.
Denny was a man of few words but deep presence - steady, loyal, and always there when you needed him. He led by example, showing through his actions what strength, dedication, and integrity truly meant. A hardworking man his entire life, Denny's quiet guidance and unwavering support made him a role model to everyone who knew him.
He found friendship and comfort at his local Legion Hall, where he enjoyed good company, laughter, and the stories that only come with shared service and community. Whether cheering for his beloved Chicago teams or lending a helping hand without being asked, Denny brought warmth and reliability to every part of life.
He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him - a good man whose quiet strength spoke louder than words ever could.
