Denis Owen Feehan, 74, passed away on January 26, 2026, in Mesquite, Nevada. Born on June 1, 1951, in Los Angeles, California, Denis lived a life marked by creativity, dedication, and a deep appreciation for learning.
A proud graduate of Cal State Northridge, Denis earned his Bachelor’s Degree in History in 2005. His pursuit of higher education later in life reflected his enduring commitment to personal growth and intellectual curiosity. He was a lifelong learner who instilled the same values in his children, encouraging them to pursue their own academic paths.
Professionally, Denis worked as an import administrator through Northrop Grumman. His career was defined by diligence and integrity—qualities that earned him the respect of colleagues and peers alike.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Denis was a passionate artist at heart. Music and writing were central to his life. Over the course of five decades, he played in various bands and brought joy to many through his performances. He also expressed himself through the written word—penning songs, poems, short stories, and even a book. His love for storytelling extended to the stage as well; he found great joy in theatre and acting in plays. Additionally, he will be remembered by his deep love for The Beatles and UCLA.
Denis is survived by former wife and closest friend, Susan, his children: sons Jamie and Matthew, and daughter Ashley (Matt), and grandson Kevin. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Feehan and Kathryn Feehan (Beal) and brother, Brendan. He is also remembered by his siblings: sisters Deirdre and Anne Mae; brothers Gavin, Terence, Joseph, Michael, and Brian.
Denis’s legacy lives on through the music he played, the words he wrote, and the values he passed on to those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to all who mourn his passing.
