Dennis Charles Pinkerton passed away April 12, 2021 at the age of 66.
He was a resident of Lake Havasu City, born in Norwalk California to
William and Essie Pinkerton. From childhood, he aspired to become an
officer of the law. After graduating from the academy, due to his
young age, he legally had to carry a note from his parents stating
that he had their permission to carry a firearm.

Dennis obtained his BS degree in criminal justice. He worked as a
police officer for the cities of Westminster and Seal Beach, and also
for the Orange County Sheriff's office. After retirement, he
volunteered as a deputy for the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office in
Prescott. He owned his own business in Lake Havasu City.

While a Realtor in Chino Valley, one day he answered the phone and had
no idea he just met his soulmate Heather who was looking for property.
They fell in love and married on May 4th 2001 in Prescott.

Dennis was a man who deeply loved and served God. His heart melted
hearing stories of changed lives. Dennis enjoyed hunting, fishing and
life on the lake.

He is survived by his wife: Heather Pinkerton, his son Brian
Pinkerton; daughter Lauren and her husband Jason Barfell; son, Matthew
Shillington; grandchildren Cailin Pinkerton, Hailey Pinkerton, Jacob
Pinkerton, Charlotte Pinkerton and Ireland MacDonald; brother Wayne
Pinkerton and wife Maxine; sisters Betty Brandon and Patty Collins.

He touched countless lives and will be deeply missed.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the
Calvary Baptist benevolence fund.

A celebration of Life will be held at Calvary Baptist Church, 1650
McCulloch Blvd. on Saturday May 8 at noon.
