Dennis Keith Sellers

With a heavy heart, we are saddened to say Dennis Keith Sellers I passed away on July 4th, 2025. Dennis was born on October 4th, 1957, in Denver, Colorado, to his mother Eula Mae, who sadly passed away when he was just seven years old. He was immediately adopted and lovingly raised by Mary and Leonard Sellers. He later enlisted in the Navy in 1977. After getting out of the Navy, he decided to begin his chapter in the truck driving business with his brother Steve, while also sharing a passion in everything related to motorcycles. Years later, while living in Southern California, he met the love of his life and soulmate, Betty Lou Crutchfield, and her son Justin—who quickly became one of his own. In the early spring of 1988, they married, and on December 9th brought their second son, Dennis Keith Sellers II "Denny," who was almost Leonard Skynard Sellers into this world. The four of them lived in Southern California, moving to Texas, eventually ending up in this beautiful city, Grand Junction. Dennis’s unconditional love and compassion for his faith, family, and country were deeply strong. His drive to provide and protect his family was limitless. Dennis enjoyed spending time with his family and friends—driving big rigs, riding motorcycles, and fishing. Oh, wait—watching football too. Go Broncos! He really had a green thumb for gardening; you name it, he could grow it. Dennis is survived by his two sons, Denny and Justin; his mother, Mary; his brothers, David and Kevin; and sisters, Kathy and Lennete; and many nieces, nephews and friends. As we say goodbye, it feels only fitting to remember that his birthday was on October 4th—10-4—a phrase in radio language meaning “message received.” It’s as if he was always meant to stay connected, to be heard and understood. Known by his handle Nighthawk, he now takes flight one final time—flying high in heaven, where he is reunited with his soul-mate Betty Lou. Though he may be gone from our sight, his spirit carries on—strong, steady, and clear. 10-4, over and out.
