Dennis Michael Cone, 75, went to his heavenly home on Friday, December 16, 2022 in Welling , Oklahoma surrounded by his family. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, a respected man of his community and a devout Christian.
Dennis was such a light in this world and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He touched the lives of so many people across multiple generations. Dennis was a giving, compassionate soul with a big heart. Anyone who knew Dennis knows his family meant everything to him.

The simplest pleasures in life brought Dennis great joy. He was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed coon hunting, creek fishing, riding his mules and winning at field trials. Dennis had a passion and talent for building things. One of his favorite things to do was build unique, custom-made picture frames.
