Dennis Muiruri Mwaura

Dennis Muiruri Mwaura (5/18/1991 - 4/9/2024) Dennis was born in Nairobi in 1991 to Monica Ngetich and Mwaura Muiruri, moving to Shakopee, Minnesota in 2001. Dennis attended schools in Hopkins and Shakopee. Dennis loved cars since he was young, and after graduating high school he pursued his degree in Automotive Technology at the Universal Technical Institute (UTI) in Avondale Arizona. In his free time, Dennis would fix and race cars, spend time with family and friends, and go to concerts and dance. Dennis was a caring person who would do anything to help the people he loved and cared for dearly. Dennis worked as a machinist at Caterpillar and later opened his own business in lawn services and snow removal. Dennis enjoyed working with his hands and being active in his work. Dennis met Austina in 2016 and the two shared an immediate connection with a love of going out dancing and other adventures. Dennis enjoyed his beloved home country of Kenya and brought Austina there to visit and meet extended family in 2018. They bought a house in 2019 and were married in 2020 at their home. They welcomed their son, Zayn, in June of 2021. Dennis was a devoted and loving father to Zayn and Xavier, who will miss him dearly. Xavier shares Dennis's love of cars and the two enjoyed going to auto shows together. As a family, they enjoyed camping trips, amusement parks, outdoor parks, playgrounds and family gatherings. Their family love story was too short but memories of fun and adventure will forever be in their hearts. Dennis was preceded in death by his uncle, Geoffrey Ngetich, and is survived by his wife, Austina Mwaura; sons, Xavier and Zayn; mother, Monica Ngetich; father, Mwaura Muiruri and stepmother, Brenda Burke; sister, Jennifer Mwaura; grandparents Frances Burke, Rosa Ngetich, and David Ngetich; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and friends.

A chapel service will follow from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (CT). Graveside services will follow the chapel services at 12:00 p.m. at the Dawn Valley Memorial Park located at the same address.
