Dennis Corcoran Obituary
Dennis Howard Corcoran died peacefully on Thursday, September 10, 2020 at the age of 64.
He was born on December 29, 1955, in Anaconda, Montana, the fourth of six children, the son of Robert and Florence "Flossie" (Miller) Corcoran.
Dennis married Linda Allen on September 24, 1977 at St. Peter's Church. They were blessed with one son Michael.
Dennis attended local schools and graduated from Anaconda Senior High in 1974. He worked at various jobs as a mechanic, including Eddy's Service and G & R Gas Station before he settled on Dee Motor Company where he worked as a mechanic for 28 years before his retirement in 2011. The Dee Motor Family was a part of our family. He was a proud member of the Anaconda Ancient Order of Hibernians, Div. No. 1. (AOH) for over 40 years. He contributed countless hours to the organization over the years for events such as the Family Picnic, originating at Upper Warm Springs Creek Picnic Area, where the "red hot dogs" were epic, the St. Patrick's Day Race and Parade, and cooking for the monthly Steak Fry during summers in Washoe Park. His AOH Brothers were a major part of his life. Slainte
Dennis enjoyed camping at Anaconda Sportsman's Campground at the Big Hole River and driving the hills and cutting firewood with his family, including his mother Flossie, and LF Thomas, who was like a father to him. He was incredibly talented in creating something out of nothing, including a home drainpipe patch from a Guinness can and bailing wire, which still holds to this day! He spent many hours in his garage creating, building, woodworking and fixing just about anything.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents James and Isabel Corcoran, William and Rose Miller, father Robert Corcoran and stepfather Lawrence "LF" Thomas. He is survived by his wife, Linda, son Michael and grandson Dylan; mother Flossie; siblings Pat (Pam) Corcoran, Clayetta (Rich) Border, Rocky Corcoran, Janice (Terry) Blaz, Sheila (Nick) Laslovich; uncle George Miller, aunt and uncle Betty and Dale Filcher; mother-in-law Rita Allen, brother-in-law Bill Allen, sister-in-law Joyce Johnson, sisters and brothers-in-law Marilyn (Mike) Niland and Diane (Don) Tocher; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Holy Family Church Saturday, September 19th at 10:30 a.m. There will be one hour of visitation prior to the service. The Ancient Order of Hibernians will conduct their ritual at 10:00 a.m. Graveside services will be conducted at Mt. Olivet Cemetery with a luncheon to follow at the AOH Hall. *Masks required*.
