Dennis Clarence Moergen
December 26th, 1944 – April 23rd, 2026
Dennis Clarence Moergen passed away on April 23, 2026, at Mercy South hospital, at the age of 81.
Dennis was born on December 26, 1944, in St. Louis, Missouri. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 53 years, Stephanie Anne Moergen (née Dix) and his parents, Clarence Moergen & Catherine Dolores Moergen (née Salmieri).
Dennis will be lovingly remembered by his only child, Jennifer (Ryan) Moergen, his nephew Brian (Kristy) McMichael and their family. He also leaves behind many close, lifelong friends who meant the world to him. Dennis had a gift for maintaining deep, meaningful friendships and kept those he cared about close throughout his life.
Dennis honorably served in the United States Military as a Vietnam Combat Veteran. He went on to build a successful career as a top salesman in the medical equipment industry, where he was known for his dedication and work ethic. Outside of work, Dennis found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He had a passion for creating stained glass lamps, was an avid wine connoisseur, and enjoyed getting lost in a good book. He loved spending time on the golf course with friends and sharing meals at local restaurants with his family. He especially cherished his annual trips to Jamaica with his late wife, Stephanie.
Family will hold a private Celebration of Life at a later date.
👍 That is exactly how I know him.
Our common ground was our family, golf, stain glass, and breaking bread.
I’ve been trying to make good Italian bread since 2019. Yesterday I made a loaf in Dennis memory. Damn if wasn’t the best I ever made. Seriously. Good memories.
What a true mensch, as they say in Yiddish. A man of honor and duty. A man you could trust and depend on in any crisis. A man of deep love and loyal friendship. A man of great good humor and tenderness who always made Steph laugh. Saturday night dinners with Steph, and his great wines, were always the highlight of my week. Will always miss him. May God give him eternal happiness with Steph. Jim
