Dennis Michael Sinkler, age 58, of Three Rivers, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Born on August 20, 1967 in Kalamazoo, Dennis was the son of Keith and Sarah (Whipple) Sinkler. He graduated with the Class of 1985 from White Pigeon High School.
Dennis was a dedicated employee of International Paper, where he worked as a certified forklift operator for more than twelve years. Known for his strong work ethic and friendly nature, he always took pride in a job well done.
On May 8, 1993, Dennis married Lisa Green. Together they shared many wonderful years filled with love, laughter, and companionship.
Family was the heart of Dennis’s life, and he always put those he loved first. He found joy in the outdoors—whether hunting, camping (especially in Baldwin or Silver Lake), traveling, or simply appreciating nature. His gentle spirit, kindness, and sense of humor will be remembered by all who knew him.
Dennis is survived by his daughter, Cassidee Sinkler; sons, Cody Sinkler and Brandys Bradley; three grandchildren; brothers, Joe Sinkler and Brian (Jeanne) Sinkler; and sister, Teresa (James) Raymond.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Lisa Sinkler, in 2016, and by his sister, Pamela.
The family will receive friends on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Hohner Funeral Home, 1004 Arnold St., Three Rivers. A funeral service will follow at 4:00 with Mike King officiating. Dennis will be laid to rest in Mendon Cemetery.
Donations in Dennis’s memory may be directed to his family in care of Cassidee Sinkler. Envelopes will be available at the funeral home.
