Tributes:
Jaidan Hunt shared a heartfelt tribute on Facebook,
“Tonight we gathered together, what looked like everyone in Tuscaloosa for Dennis. Flying flags is one of Dennis’s favorite things and tonight we flew so so many flags. It means so much to everyone. This shows that it isn’t about rivalry it’s about unity. It not only takes one but takes an army. Not only Dennis but the Griffin family is so loved in this community. Dennis, you are the brightest light in the room. You are someone who can light up any room you walk in. I love you so much. There is no one else i would rather talk about food with for hours. No one else i’d rather laugh with falling off the golf cart or playing at the playground with. You are such an amazing person and a path of light in the darkness. I remember the day i met you and we instantly clicked. You could make me laugh in the toughest times. You are so strong and i know you can pull through. I know God isn’t finished with you yet. Stay strong for us Dennis. Hug the people you love and tell them you love them.”
