Dennis Alan Roberts-Fulbright, 64, a devoted father, "Grumpy," minister, musician, and aspiring farmer, passed away in a tractor accident on Monday, March 17, 2025.
Born in Colorado, Dennis dedicated his life to faith, family, and music. At 18 years old, he answered the call to ministry, serving as a passionate leader within the Disciples of Christ for over three decades. More than anything, Dennis loved Jesus, and he spent his life spreading the word of Christ across Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, California, Iowa, and Nebraska. His unwavering faith and deep love for people made a lasting impact on every community he served.
A gifted musician and songwriter, Dennis composed hundreds of folk-style songs, using music as a way to share his faith and bring people together. Whether preaching from the pulpit, strumming his guitar, or riding with the Christian Motorcyclists Association, his voice carried the warmth and wisdom of a life well-lived.
Dennis also had a deep love for farming and tractors. It wasn't a sermon by Rev. Dennis without a tractor or farming reference thrown in. Though his passing was unexpected, those who knew him find comfort in knowing he left this world in a place that brought him peace; on his Fulbright Farm with his Dennisland Creek.
Above all, Dennis was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. His grandkids affectionately called him "Grumpy"—a name that fit his outward gruffness but never fooled anyone who knew him. Beneath that exterior was a compassionate and loving man, always ready with a helping hand, a wise word, or a song.
He is survived by his loving wife, his three children and their spouses, three cherished grandchildren, and dog. His legacy of faith, music, and love will continue to live on in the hearts of those he touched.
A Celebration to honor Dennis's life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 28, 2025, at the Shubert Christian Church in Shubert, Nebraska with Pastor John States officiating. The family welcomes all who knew and loved Dennis to join them as they celebrate his wonderful life and his new journey in the arms of God.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to be made to the Shubert Christian Church.
