Dennis Gurnsey of Blue Springs, MO. passed away peacefully with his wife Christina by his side, October 12th 2023. Dennis was born June 30th 1960 in Camden Arkansas to Fred Gurnsey Jr and Bobbie Gurnsey. In 1978 Dennis married Christina Mayhugh. They would welcome one daughter in their 45 years together. While working for over 40 years in the heavy equipment parts business, Dennis was able to travel the world. He saw many interesting things and met many wonderful people. He enjoyed spending time with his family, hunting, and fishing. He also enjoyed his time in the gym and anything that involved sports. And… he sure loved his dog Bear. Left behind to miss him greatly are his wife Christina Gurnsey, daughter Kelley Gurnsey, and his two amazing grandchildren Kylie and Jordan Begulia. The family wishes to express their upmost gratitude to Kim Sickler, Heather from Promedica, Dr. Darry Shaw and nurse practitioner Nicole Zwick. And finally, the staff of CenterPoint medical center. The care, compassion and kindness they gave to Dennis and his family was truly a blessing.
A celebration of Dennis’s life will be November 5th from 6-9 PM at Fleming meeting hall. 21906 SW Woods Chapel Rd Blue Springs, MO 64015. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the Humane Society of greater Kansas City.

We were neighbors of Dennis and Chris for over 20 years, and Dennis was always willing to help anytime we asked. You could see he really loved his grandkids, as he was always outside playing with them and allowed the other neighbor kids to play (even our son).
