Dennis Connelly
December 6, 1974 – September 28, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dennis Connelly on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at the age of 49 years. After a courageous battle against cancer for a year and a half, he passed peacefully with his wife Holley by his side.
Born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Toronto, Dennis eventually moved to Uxbridge, where he met his wife of 25 years, Holley. He loved NASCAR and his yearly trips to Michigan with his brother and best friends. Sunday dinners with his family while watching his Patriots, Red Sox, or Bruins were among his favorite times. He also cherished his quiet moments spent fishing.
He will be deeply missed by his wife Holley and their two children, Russell and Raine. Dennis is also survived by his mother Mary, brother Robert, step-sister Sebastienne, brothers-in-law Stuart and John, mother-in-law Sandra, sister-in-law Elizabeth, brother-in-law and best friend Tyler, cousin Billy, as well as nieces, nephews, and great nephew. He is predeceased by his sister Sarah, brother Nicholas, and father Herold. The family would also like to extend their gratitude to all of his nursing staff, especially Bre, Natasha, and Vera, for their kindness during his care.
Cremation has been entrusted to Low & Low Funeral Home, Uxbridge. A celebration of Dennis’ life will be held at a later date. As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.
