Obituary -- Dennis Michael Achurra
Dennis Michael Achurra

Dennis Michael Achurra passed from this life on August 24, 2020. A man who truly possessed a pure heart. Dennis knew the importance of God, family, and friends. More important to him than any earthly possession was the companionship of his family and friends. His smile, his laugh, his imagination, his compassion for others and his willingness to help others are just a few of his attributes that Dennis shared with those around him. Dennis’s life was as a giver and a worker; helping on the family farm, helping his mother around the house and being a part of Fallon Industries and Blue Sky Thrift Store. Dennis loved bowling, being around his nieces and nephews, being with his pets and using his imagination for building with Lincoln Logs and his matchbox car collection, but most of all he loved getting and giving a hug to his friends. He was an active member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church.

Dennis was born in Fallon, Nevada on May28, 1962 to John and Norma Achurra. He is survivied by mother, Norma, sister Anna (Marty) Crew, brothers Robert (Paula) Achurra, and Ken (Kathy) Achurra, nephews and nieces Marc (Melissa) Achurra, Mathew Achurra, Alicia (Adam) Roney, Stephen (Susan) Achurra, Veronica (Angie) Thompson-Crew, Anthony Crew, and his great nieces and nephews; Serenity, Jaylin, Jessica, Griffin, and Declan. He has been reunited in heaven with his father John, sister Arlene, his grandparents, Joseph and Consuelo Achurra, and Firmin and Emma Bruner.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the St. Patrick’s Building Fund, 850 West 4th Street, Fallon, Nevada 89406 or charity of choice. A private Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated. His family wishes to acknowledge and thank his caregivers, Jerry, Liziel, and Mary Ann, who provided loving care the past six months.

God’s angel here on earth is now eternally with his Creator in Heaven. We are so blessed to have been able to call Dennis our son, brother uncle, and our friend. Arrangements are with Smith Family Funeral Home in Fallon. 775-423-2255.

Comment author: Jeff goings Comment text: September 11, article Civics 101 I would like to commend Rachael Dahl and the Fallon post for their article. Civics 101. This is a reminder that we as citizens live in a representative form of government and why it is so important that we vote as voting is our way of making our voice heard.

When we bought our land in Kingston, Sis regaled us with her stories of gatherings at the old restaurant & bar on the way to Groves lake. Sis often said, 'What happens in Kingston stays in Kingston!' Fun & funny lady. Comment publication date: 9/8/26, 5:58 PM Comment source: Marilyn J. “Sis” Banovich Comment author: Ruth Fiege Comment text: So sorry for the pain your family is suffering. She is in comfort of Jesus arms. This is Ruth Fiege, Gary's cousin from WI. I can't begin to imagine the pain your family is suffering. So much comfort in knowing she and baby are with Jesus. God Bless you all during this tragedy.
