Dennis Maynard

Dennis Lee Maynard, 72, of Delbarton, West Virginia, passed away peacefully in his home on June 11, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on September 16, 1953, Dennis lived a life rooted in faith, family, and service to others. A proud Christian and devoted member of Bethel Temple, he was bold about his faith which he loved to share with others. Dennis retired as a Civil Engineer with the Construction Division of the Department of Transportation after a long and successful career. He took great pride in his work and often enjoyed reminiscing about the many roads, bridges, and construction projects he helped bring to life throughout the region. His stories reflected not only his professional accomplishments but also his deep connection to the communities he served. Above all else, Dennis was a devoted family man. He is survived by his loving wife, Bernadine Maynard; his daughter, Candace Hanson (Richard Hanson); his sister Debbie Green (Mason Green); his granddaughters, Megan Hanson, and Alison Baisden (Justin Baisden); and six precious great-grandchildren who brought him immeasurable joy and whom he loved dearly. He was preceded in death by his father, Marvin Maynard; his mother, Virginia Maynard; his biological mother, Mary Maynard; and his brother, Darrell Wireman. Dennis found happiness in life's simple pleasures. He loved spending time with his great-grandchildren, riding his golf cart, bird watching, and gathering for Sunday dinners with his family. Those moments meant the world to him and created memories that will be cherished forever. Known to all that loved him as "Grumpy". Dennis leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, and dedication. He was a man who loved deeply, and always made time for those who mattered most. While his presence will be greatly missed, his family finds comfort in knowing that he is now resting in the arms of his Savior. The family is also so grateful for the caretakers Jacob, Michelle, and Darlene for their incredible support during his final days. The family rejoices in the promise of eternal life and takes comfort in the words of Scripture: "Well done, good and faithful servant." — Matthew 25:23 Dennis's memory will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Visitation for Dennis will take place on Sunday June 14th, 2026 at Bethel Temple, from 11:00am-12:00pm. Funeral services will take place at 12:00pm with Rev. Bobby Perry officiating. Burial will follow at Mountain View Memory Gardens, Maher, WV with friends and family serving as pallbearers. Chafin Funeral home is honored to serve the Maynard family.
