Dennis Lowell Welty, 64, of Indianapolis passed away February 2, 2013. He was born May 9, 1948 in Martinsville, IN to Dennis J and Pansy Kathryn (Sipes) Welty, both preceding him in death. Dennis grew up as a farmer and raised hogs and cattle. He was a member of the Future Farmers of America and Science Club at Monrovia High School and later in life a member of the American Legion.

Dennis was a devoted husband, a caring brother, a loving father and grandfather, and a faithful disciple of JESUS CHRIST. He followed Christ in his life and in his occupation as a carpenter.
