Bert Hudson Dennison, Jr. began his early journey on October 13, 1952, when his parents Bert Hudson Sr. and Mary "Aileen" Paddick Dennison welcomed into this world.  He departed this earth on January 10, 2023, at the age of 71 years, 2 months, and 28 days.

Bert was born in Oklahoma City, OK but his childhood was spent in Woodward, OK where he attended school and graduated with the class of 1971 from Woodward High School.  In July of that year, Bert enlisted in the US Army.  He proudly served as a Mechanic, attaining the rank of SP5 and earned a National Defense Metal and his Parachute Badge.  He was honorably discharged in March of 1975.  Bert began working as a roughneck in the oilfield and later began his career as a plumber in the Woodward area.

On August 23, 1996, Bert was united in marriage to the love of his life, Betty Lou Whiteman.  The couple made their home in Woodward where they have remained until this day.  The couple was blessed with four children, Valencia Michelle, Vivian Mae, James Eric, and Vera Aileen.

Bert was an avid fisherman; he also was known to noodle for catfish.  He enjoyed being outdoors and being surrounded by nature.  His greatest enjoyment came from hanging out with his family and friends, especially his grandkids, who were the light of his life.

Bert is preceded in death by his parents, Bert Sr. and Aileen; his sister Janet Mann; and his brother Jeffrey Dennison.

He is survived by his loving wife Betty of the home, children: Valencia Dennison and wife Dannelle of Tulsa, OK; Vivian Lime and husband Robert of Clinton, OK; James Eric Dennison of Woodward; and Vera Aileen Dennison also of Woodward.  Others that will cherish his memory are his sister Joyce Nelson of Woodward, brothers W.M. Dennison and wife Mary of Edmond, OK, and Stanley Dennison and wife Laura of Norman, OK. Bert's legacy will live on through his beloved grandchildren; Lillian, Andre, CamRon, and Kyiah Lime; Olivia Renee Dennison; Alex, Emily, and Hailey Huckeba; Isaac and Sally Chavez; Carman and Cooper Johnston; Autum Kurtis; Preston and Skyler Rolen; Brendon and Joseph Webster; and Evan Mitchell.  He will be greatly missed by his great-grandchildren Isaac Jr., Isiah, and Michael Chavez. There are nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends who will miss Bert's presence in their lives.

Bert will be remembered for his loving heart and adventurous nature.  Even though he no longer lives among us, his legacy will live on through those he leaves behind.  May his soul rest in peace.
