Dennis Wayne Gibson, son of the late John Luther Gibson and Marceline Lucille Wood Gibson, was born on February 28, 1949, in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and departed this life on May 28, 2025, at the age of 76 years.

Dennis was united in marriage to Eileen Gail Woodall at Hills Church in Bloomfield, Missouri on December 23, 1967.

Dennis was a trucker all his working days. He started at a young age driving for his dad in the lime business in Essex, Missouri. He went on to buy his own 18-wheeler and drove over the road all over the United States.

Over the years he owned several old cars. He enjoyed going to car shows and entering them.

Dennis is survived by his son, Travis Gibson (Kim) of Dexter, and his daughter, Lynn Hubbert of Morley; by six grandchildren, Brandi, Cody, Elizabeth, Kristen, Valerie and Natalie and by sixteen great-grandchildren. Dennis is also survived by his sister, Betty Fleming (David) of Dexter, two sisters-in-law, Nancy Cooper (Larry) of Bloomfield and Cathy DeMeyer of St. Louis.; and by many nieces, nephews, family and friends.
