Dennis Lee Lebsack

June 4, 1945 – March 18, 2020

Dennis Lee Lebsack, 74, of Eaton, passed away peacefully  March 18, 2020, resting on his Lazy Boy recliner watching his favorite TV show, Gunsmoke.

After graduation from Berthoud High School in 1963, Dennis continued his education at Colorado State University and Mesa Community College until he was employed by IBM and later Lockheed Martin, taking retirement at an early age.

Growing up on a Berthoud farm, his love of farming never faded.  After returning to Colorado, he loved helping farm families harvest corn and sugar beets, even when it was prime fishing season on the Poudre River.

Dennis was preceded in death by his parents, Adolph and Lorena Lebsack, longtime Berthoud farmers. He is survived by his wife, Faye; mother-in-law, Wuanita Van Thuyne; sons, Jeffrey (Shawna) and Michael; sister, Arloa Ellertson (Lorin); nephew, Chad Ellertson (Jordan); brother-in-law, Mark Van Thuyne (Phyllis); step-niece, Julie Marsh (Chris) and her sons Matt and Bill; step-nephew, Rick Van Thuyne (Cory); stepdaughter, Abby Schmidt (Bill, and their sons, CJ and Eli); stepson, Lee Sullivan; numerous cousins and good friends.

A celebration of life will be held at a later time, Service date and time are pending.
