Dennis Horsechief

Dennis Charles Horsechief was born on June 27, 1951, at the Lawton Indian Hospital in Lawton, Oklahoma, to Donald Horsechief Miller and Mary (Akoneto) Horsechief Miller. He grew up in Fort Cobb, Oklahoma, and passed away on October 6, 2026, at his home.

Dennis was a proud member of the Kiowa Tribe and was also of Wichita and Pawnee descent. He later joined the United States Navy and attended Sooner Trade School in Oklahoma City. Following his education, he worked in the HVAC industry, where he spent many years putting his knowledge and skills to work.

Dennis was a loving father and grandfather who loved his children and grandchildren unconditionally. His family meant everything to him, and he treasured the time he spent with them. Dennis had a personality that was truly one of a kind. He enjoyed teasing everyone, making people laugh, and reminiscing about the good ol' days. He especially loved spending time with his grandchildren, watching his dog, Rosco, terrorize the mailman, and settling in to watch his favorite westerns, crime shows, sports, and horror programs. He had a way of bringing laughter into the room and creating memories that his family will cherish forever.

Dennis was a very strong man. Despite the hardships he faced and the condition he lived with for many years, he never stopped fighting. Through it all, he was blessed to witness many special moments and blessings in his life. Recently, Dennis was baptized and accepted into God's grace, bringing comfort and peace to his family in knowing that he has gone home to be with his Heavenly Father.
