Dennis Duane Adams was born on October 7, 1944 in San Francisco, CA to Duane and Ginger (Yarnell) Adams. When he was two years old, the family traveled to Blue Earth where they made their home. Dennis went to school in Blue Earth graduating in 1962.
He met and fell in love with Linda Cummins and they were married January 31, 1965. To this union were born three amazing children. They are his pride and joy.

He loved being outdoors, fishing with his buddies and camping with his family and friends. He loved to plant a tree here or a bush there tending to them and watching them grow. Having his family around him was his greatest joy. He enjoyed telling the grandchildren a story (true or not) and playing tricks on them.
