June 30, 1946 – September 4, 2020
Dennis Gene Ehman, 74, Noblesville, passed away unexpectedly September 4, 2020 at his home.
He was born June 30, 1946 in Elwood to Donald Eugene and Melva Louise (Baker) Ehman. Growing up in northern Atlanta, he attended Tipton Schools and graduated from Tipton High School with the Class of 1964. He soon went into the U.S. Army and honorably served his country.
Upon returning from serving his country, he became employed at Guide Lamp, a division of General Motors in Anderson. He was employed there for over 37 years as a die setter.
Dennis took great lengths in serving his community, his church, and the church congregation. Whatever the need, he was only a phone call away to help someone in need. For over 20 years he was a compassionate family caregiver, always putting their needs first.
He enjoyed taking daily walks and also loved to take long car rides all over the state of Indiana. He welcomed others to ride along and share the ride, never knowing where you might end up. He loved to attend the Indiana State Fair as it reminded him of his childhood when he spent time living and working with his grandparents on their farm. He enjoyed visiting and spending time with his long-time friends and family. As a proud grandfather of two, he attended their various sporting events, plays and dance recitals.
He married Cathy Sue (Lane) Ehman on October 12, 1968. She preceded him in death on September 8, 2018. In addition to his wife, his parents also preceded him in death.
Surviving him is a son, Dennis Jeffery (Susie) Ehman, Noblesville; a sister, Pauletta Pennock, Atlanta; and grandchildren, Kassandra Ehman, Tempe, Ariz., and Austin Ehman, Orlando, Fla.
Graveside rites will be held at 2 p.m. on September 25, 2020at Arcadia Cemetery, with Pastor Jody Brown officiating. Military rites will be presented by the Cicero American Legion.
