The Brewster family moved to Odessa, Texas when Dennis was a child. Dennis graduated from Odessa High School in 1964.

Dennis married the love of his life, Sally Jane Lewis on July 26, 1969. They have been happily married for over 51 years. They began their life together teaching, coaching and welcoming two sons in Lamesa, Texas. Many lifelong friendships and new interests were found during their time in Lamesa. One of which included Dennis’s love for the car business. Eventually, the family moved to Abilene, Texas where Dennis’s career would thrive, and the family would spend many happy years together. Dennis served the Abilene area for over 25 years as sales manager for Lawrence Hall. Dennis, affectionately known as “Frosty”, by those who knew and loved him well, will forever be remembered as a gentle spirited yet tough, witty, honest, determined, and hardworking man. Frosty rarely missed a day of work, in fact he would be there now if he could. His Faith and Will to live were remarkable! Some of Frosty’s happiest moments were often the simplest spent on the golf course or in the backyard grilling with his two sons and Sally.
