Dennis Dean Chinn, 69, of Huntersville, died on Thursday, October 28, 2021. He was born on July 12, 1952, in Ardmore, Oklahoma to the late Howard and Arvin Chinn. A mechanical engineer by trade, Dennis served a decades long career within the nuclear energy sector, before finally enjoying his well deserved retirement. Be it bowling with his family and friends or fishing on long sandbars off the coast of Ocean Isle, Dennis lived an active and peaceful lifestyle, full of joy, debate, radical honesty and the company of close friends. Known for a jovial and joking demeanor that often gave way to deep conversations of concepts much bigger than us all, Dennis was a friend to many via his shade tree mechanicry and helpful pondering. In addition to his parents, Dennis is preceded in death by sister Patricia, and brother Michael. Dennis is survived by his son, Nathan Chinn; sisters Diane and Debby; nieces, Shelley and Christy; and nephew Wade. The family will have a memorial service at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the NC State Tuition Fund: https://give.ncsu.edu/ James Funeral Home, of Huntersville, is serving the family.
