In loving memory of Dennis Priestley, who sadly passed away on 15th November 2023. A wonderful man, taken from us too soon.
This webpage has been created primarily to provide details of the funeral service and other ways to remember Den. The family welcome all who would like to attend the funeral service (details on this page), which will celebrate his life, and afterwards at The Mortimer Arms (Romsey Rd, Ower, Romsey SO51 6AF).
The family ask that people come with any photos, as well as happy and funny stories of Den, which they would very much like to see/hear on the day. There will also be a memories book which people can add these too.
In lieu of flowers, the family ask that anyone who wishes to, please instead contribute to the Wessex Heartbeat charity in Den's name, who do incredible work.
Dennis was the architect for our homeless Community Emmaus Hampshire which opened in 2009. I have only just learnt that he had died which has saddened me. He was so helpful and encouraging when things were a real struggle raising the money etc.,
so I wanted to put a little note of appreciation here.
Dennis was my first Boss who brave enough to employ me such small potato! I still remember the last day in PP and all the good memories who working with such good boss. RIP
Farewell Dennis I shall always have some great memories of you and working with you has given me so many opportunities. Thank you for all the good times we had at PPA it was like being in a great family . You will be missed
RIP Den, always in my heart!
RIP bro! X
Love you bro. X For the happy memories of growing up and playing together to the “adult pastimes “ of sharing a bottle of red and putting the world to rights! You will always be in my heart and thoughts! Xx
Gone too soon. Rest in peace Dennis 🙏🏼
Lots of fond memories of Den, when our children grew up together. All the holidays, socialising and good fun we had. Boys have fond memories of playing cricket with you and your sense of humour. Taken too soon.
Rest in Peace Den
Love Lois, Daniel, Gary & Rob x
Dennis was a fantastic employer, he took a chance on me, an inexperienced architects assistant after I spent a few years in the wilderness aka pub trade. I definitely would not be where I am without his trust. Thank you for the chance.
Dennis was a great person and fantastic boss. It was Dennis who encouraged me to stay and continue my architecture course in the UK- since then I always called him my architecture dad which he always laughed he would rather be called the ‘architecture godfather’, so we settled on that. I always liked his great sense of humour. He will be very much missed. RIP architecture Godfather
Thankyou for our amazing daughters who I will take good care of and I’m remembering all the good times
Rest In Peace Dennis
Dennis was one of the good guys in life. I remember his warmth and fairness as a boss long after my time at PPA. Gone too soon, Rest In Peace Dennis.
A huge loss to us all, the times shared working together shall always remain in our hearts and mind. Thank you for all your support over the years, Dennis.
So many happy memories Uncle Den. Lots of love, Jodi, Scott, Lauren and Ella xx
RIP Den, always in my heart!
