Dennis ‘Denny’ Arlo Brue died peacefully surrounded by his family after a short courageous battle from a rare renal cell cancer on Friday, June 30, 2017 at the VA Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was 72 years old. Denny was born June 21, 1945 to parents W. Donald and Cora (Holstad) Brue in Albert Lea, Minnesota. Denny graduated from Albert Lea High School, attended the University of Minnesota, served his country in the U.S. Army, and earned his business degree at Mankato State University.
On October 18, 1969, Denny married the love of his life, Roxann M. Sheveland, at Grace Lutheran Church in Albert Lea. He provided his family, country, and whole community with his love and passion for Bruno’s Corn Dogs, which he owned and operated for 40 years. Denny was also the owner & operator of the B&B Café for 24 years and owned Grandpa Brue’s Pancakes.
Denny was a member of the VFW and was a classic car enthusiast. He was very involved in the Upper Midwest Region of the Classic Car Club of America, coordinating several car cruises in his ’31 Cadillac.
Spending time with his family and friends was important to him. He always put others first. Dennis was a great husband, dad, grandpa, and father-in-law who was well known by all those touched by his life. His legacy will live on through his family and will never be forgotten.
Survivors include Denny’s wife, Roxann; children, Jeremy (Michelle) Brue of Albert Lea; daughter, Kjersten Brue of Ellendale; granddaughters, Jazmin and Jadin Brue; brother, Burnell Brue (special friend Becky) of Northwood, IA; niece, Tanja (Michael) Noer. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Arden Brue.
Blessed be his memory.
