Dennis M. Mundell

AUGUST 12, 1960 • SEPTEMBER 21, 2026

Born in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, Dennis was the fourth of six children of Gale and Diann Mundell and a member of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. He attended Gaenslen Elementary, Riverside High School (Class of 1978), UWM and online courses, and With a Little Help summer camp.

Known for his iconic hat, humor, gifts, and lessons, Dennis was a protector and family patriarch. He had no biological children; in his Native family, his sisters' children were his children, and he loved the generations that followed. Dennis had muscular dystrophy, but it did not have him. As he said, he had a disability, but he was not disabled. His strength and love live on in the family's stories.

Family and Loved Ones

Dennis was preceded in death by his parents; siblings Louis, Debbie, Jeff, and Scott; and nephew Johnny "John" Cox. He is survived by his sister Brenda Lee Webster (Robert "MOJO" Webster); nieces Teressa Reecie Mundell, Kayla Nichole Webster, and Coreisha Hill (Vedale Hill); nephews Robert "Rob" Webster Jr., DeAngelo "DeMan" Webster, Christopher Mundell (Valarie Mundell), and Wayne "Bear" Mundell (Natalie Mundell); and nieces-in-law Nicole, Kourtney "Kort" Coleman, and Shalita Jenkins.
