He was born October 12,1961 in Alamance County to the late Rev. Clarence and Margaret Tidwell. Dennis worked at Copland Fabrics for many years as a loom fixer.

Dennis will always be remembered as a “Simple man”.

But on the morning of January 24, 2026 at 1:19 am -Jesus came by and He and His angels gave him a ride on their wings to his forever home to reunite with his loved ones already there.
