Dennis Arthur Biele, 68, of Alexandria died peacefully surrounded by family and friends on April 23, 2024.
Dennis was a Christian. He was a great family man and friend. Dennis was a remarkable individual defined by his unwavering dedication to those he loved. He was an avid bird watcher, a devout Cubs fan, and a hobby fisherman. He mostly loved spending time with family and friends.
Dennis was more than his hobbies and interests. He was a man of compassion, humor, and sweetness. He was an accomplished nurse. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Anderson University in 1995. Prior to his nursing career he graduated from seminary. He served as a youth pastor in Tennessee and as a chaplain in the Air Force Reserves.
Dennis spent his entire nursing career at Community Hospital Anderson. He made a lifelong impact on the lives of countless patients. He was a natural caregiver. He was known for going above and beyond. Dennis had a passion for education and empowering patients. It was not unheard of for him to give patients rides, buy and deliver groceries, or go visit them at home. His generous spirit was felt by anyone he met.
