June 6, 1942 — September 9, 2022

Dennis A. Flatt of Safford, Arizona passed away peacefully in his home at the age of 80 on September 9, 2022. He was surrounded by his loved ones. Dennis was born on June 6, 1942 in Portland, Oregon to Lynn & Opal Flatt.

On December 22; of that same year, Dennis married the love of his life, Leberta Lutz. They lovingly raised three children Denise, Mike, & Dana. Dennis and Leberta were lifetime companions and devoted soulmates for 60 years. Shortly after obtaining his degree, Dennis enlisted in the United States Army and proudly served our country until 1964. Upon his return, he began a 25-year career with the state of Arizona as a DPS officer. He believed that this was his way to help, serve, and protect his community.
