Dennis H. Nettler born December 9, 1930 in St. Louis, Missouri went to his eternal rest at the age of 93 on July 1, 2024.  He was preceded in death by his father Harry Nettler and his mother Rose (Schulte) Nettler.

Surviving him is his loving wife of 43 years Deborah (Steers) Nettler, two daughters Janet Selby and Deborah Mraz, two step-daughters Kerry (Chris) Schulte and Lori Riley, two brothers Paul (Toni) Nettler and Gerry (JoAnn) Nettler and a sister-in-law Janet Bourzikas.

He was a grandfather loved by 11 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and was an uncle and great-uncle to many.

Dennis was the most kind and humble man you would ever meet and his faith was extremely important to him.  He attended St Timothy Catholic Church in The Villages, Florida, Incarnate Word Catholic Church in Chesterfield, Missouri and St Thomas the Apostle Church in Florissant, Missouri.  While attending Incarnate Word he was a member of the Knights of Columbus and enjoyed leading the tootsie roll campaign for many years.  He spent many hours in Eucharistic Adoration and in Liturgy of the Hours.

Dennis played drums in the band at McBride High School and was part of several local bands years after.  He loved music, was an avid golfer, and loved sports, especially the St Lous Blues, St Louis Baseball and Football Cardinals and the St Louis Rams.  He enjoyed reading and eating ice cream, especially Ted Drews and Velvet Freeze.

Dennis served his country in the Korean War and was exceptionally humble about his service.  He retired from Charter Communications in 2000 and several years later moved to The Villages, Florida with Debbie, the love of his life.

A celebration of life mass will be held at Incarnate Word Church, 13416 Olive Boulevard, Chesterfield, Missouri at 10 a.m. on July 31, 2024.

His ashes will be interred at 2 p.m. July 31, 2024 at Jefferson Barracks National Cometary, 2900 Sheridan Road, St. Louis, Missouri 63125.
