Pastor Dennis was nominated by Tiffany DeBois, "I would like to tell you about my father, Dennis Davies. He has so much experience as a hero I am not quite sure where to start. He voluntarily enlisted in the Army to serve during Vietnam where he became a Green Baret. After that he began an over 30 year career with the LA County Fire Department where he eventually retired as a Captain. After retiring he immediately went to semenary where he graduated with honors. He is now on the pastoral staff at our church where he has come alongside many young men who want to become amazing Godly men but do not know how because they did not have Godly examples in their lives. Every Wednesday he spends hours with a gentlemen at our church who is in his 90's that is mostly alone. He has been doing this for almost 10 years and is absolutely treasured in that mans life. My dad was an absolute "hero" of a father growing up, he always had time for us and whatever problem we were having. He worked long hours to provide for our needs. He loves and has loved our mother very much, and mostly importantly he has always strived to have a Godly walk and be an example of Christ's love to the world. I vividly remember the pride I felt each time he taught at our church's AWANA counciltime all the children how to put on the "Full Armor of Chirst" in our lives. He has touched many hearts and won many for the Lord. As if this all is not enough already, the reason I am nominating him is for his latest heroic deeds. Almost 2 years ago my mother, and his wife of over 33 years was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer and eventually brain cancer. He has been there through every moment caring for her and being the hero that she needs right now to lean and rely on to get through these most trying times. In my eyes, and many more peoples eyes, there is no more heroic man than him, and I could not be more proud to call him dad. When I think about the blessing I was given as a father here on earth and know that our Father in Heaven loves us even more, I am truly in awe.
Thank you for the opportunity to nominate my hero!"
