Dennis E. Reynolds, MD
May 29, 1940 – June 18, 2021 It is with sadness that we share the news of Dennis’ passing on June 18th as a result of cardiac issues. He died peacefully at home in Salem, Oregon. Dennis was a native Minnesotan who was born to George and Agnes Reynolds in Alexandria, Minnesota. His parents divorced when he was young, and he was raised by his blind mother, with the support of multiple relatives in the nearby area. Although the family did not have a lot of money, fortunately, Dennis had great scholastic and athletic prowess, resulting in numerous scholarships. He played basketball both in high school and college, continuing with intramural and informal teams long afterward. One of his proudest accomplishments remained that he set a basketball scoring record in high school which was unbroken for 37 years.
