Dennis Ray Lindley Sr. 72, of Markham passed away August 20, 2020. He was born October 18, 1947 in Leachville, Arkansas to Horace Clifton Lindley and Emma Sue Meadows Lindley, of Muskogee, Oklahoma.
Dennis was a loving and generous man devoted to his family, country, friends, and fishing. After growing up in Oklahoma, Dennis enlisted in the Air Force as an aircraft mechanic during the Vietnam War, courageously serving over 10 years. Following his service, Dennis leveraged his mechanical experience and eventually retired from Formosa Plastics to spend time with his friends and family. Even stronger than his work ethic was his passion for outwitting fish in fresh and salt water, where he would relax alone or with his children and grandchildren.

Lindley, and grandchildern Joshua Lindley, Jonathan Lindley, Caleb Lindley, Beau Lindley, Christian Vesper and Courtney Vesper.
