Dennis P. McEvoy was born to eternal life on June 13, 2022 at the age of 75.
Dennis was born and raised in Milwaukee WI and later moved to Waukesha County. Dennis was a 30-year employee of ProHealth Care (Waukesha Memorial Hospital) as Director of Plant, Safety and Security. His work ethic was unmatched not only at work, but at home. He loved landscaping and took pride in his well-manicured lawn. In addition to watching the races at Hales Corners and Slinger Speedway, his happy place was “putzing” in his yard.
Anyone who knew Dennis was well aware of his quick wit and sense of humor. If you were lucky enough to be on the receiving end of his teasing it meant you were well loved. One of Dennis’ greatest joys was attending his grandchildren’s sporting events, concerts and plays. Despite his health issues later in life, he found a way to put one foot in front of the other and remained resilient.
He is survived by his loving wife Peggy (nee Schmidt). Dear father of Carrie (Brian) Ripp, Kelly McEvoy and Cory (Michael) Haight. Loving Papa of Alec, Delaney, Emily and Ally. Son in-law of Junette Schmidt. Brother in-law of Carol (John), Kevin, Kevin (Darlene), Nancy (Ken), Lynda (John), Maria and Nancy. Further survived by nieces, nephews, cousins, great nieces, nephews and many friends.
Preceded in death by his first wife, Catherine McEvoy; parents, Leo and Edna McEvoy; brother, Roger McEvoy; sister in-law, Debra Miller; and brother in-law Brian Schmidt.
