Dennis E. Baron, age 84, of Naperville. Loving husband of Sheila (nee Reyes); loving father of David (Patricia) and Michael (Eve); beloved grandfather of Edward (Tara), Michael, Jacob, Joshua (Madie), Emma (Brian), Kelsey, and Caleb. Cherished great-grandfather of Madelyn, Wesley, Willow, Sienna, Kennedy, and Penelope; fond brother of Debra (Lionel). Dennis was preceded in death by his parents Edward and Jean Baron, sister Barbara, and brothers John and Jim.

 

Dennis had a love of the outdoors. He was an avid gardener who loved sharing his homegrown fruits and vegetables with friends and family. His true passion was fishing. Spending time on the water became a family activity that has been passed down for 2 generations. His children and grandchildren can share countless stories of being on the boat trying to catch walleye.

 

His family was the only thing Dennis loved more than fishing. Oftentimes, even more than himself, Dennis never put anything above family. Nobody can fill Dennis’ shoes, but we know he will always be with us, watching over us.

 

Service and interment will take place privately.

 

Arrangements were entrusted to Hallowell & James Funeral Home, Countryside at (708) 352-6500.
