Mr. Dennis Wayne Currie, 77, passed away Sunday, May 25, 2025. Mr. Currie was born February 9, 1948, in Guildford County, NC to the late James Thomas Currie and Mazell Sauls Currie.

Dennis worked and retired after 30+ years of service with the U.S. Postal Service. He was a U.S. Navy Veteran with the Seabee Construction Battalion.

He was of the Baptist Faith.
