Dennis Duane Borgos, age 73, of Underwood, MN, passed away Sunday, August 18, 2024. Dennis was born March 23, 1951, to Alfred and Joyce Borgos in Fergus Falls, MN. Dennis was a beloved Father, Grandfather, Son, and Brother who will be remembered for his sense of humor and passion for the outdoors. 

Growing up he attended church and was baptized and confirmed at Sverdrup Lutheran Church in Underwood. Dennis attended school in Underwood, MN, graduating in 1969. Dennis enlisted in the armed services after High School and served 5 years in the Army Reserve. Dennis went on to attend college in Fergus Falls, Bemidji, and Moorhead, MN. After the passing of his father Alfred in 1978, he returned to Underwood to run the family farm. 

Dennis married Candace Hanson on March 31, 1979. They had three children, Sarah Joleen, Joseph Alfred and Amanda Maggie. Dennis and Candace raised their three children on the family farm outside of Underwood, MN. He worked many jobs throughout his life from bartending to pouring cement floors for grain bins but his favorite job was working on his farm. Dennis worked the fields everyday and enjoyed tending to his horses and other livestock. 

Dennis is remembered for his warm protective heart, his love for fishing, hunting, and farming, and his love for his family. Dennis lived a full life, always independently doing what he enjoyed, watching his kids and their kids play sports, and sitting on the hill at the farm talking to God and those who have passed.
