Dennis Lorenz, 64, of Chesterton, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 16, 2023.  He is a graduate of Chesterton High School and spent many years working for Anderson Heating and Air in Tinley Park, Illinois.  He was also a member of the Sheet Metal Workers Local 73.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Michelle; three loving children: Zachary (Kahli) Lorenz, Kristin (George) Hylek, and Matthew (Jackie Gaul) Lorenz; treasured grandchildren: Grace, Lillyan and Elliann Lorenz and Kyriaki and Keith Hylek; and dear sister, Ruth Lorenz.  He is preceded in death by his parents, Leslie and Catherine, and brother, Donald.

Dennis could often be found outside, hunting and fishing, and generally enjoying nature.  He loved his family fiercely and was never happier than when he was spending time with his family – especially his grandkids.  He will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to have known him.  There are no services scheduled at this time.
