Dennis "Denny" W. Tompkins, age 59, a resident of Naperville, IL, passed away March 23, 2021.  He was born July 29, 1961 in St. Charles, IL, to Bruce Tompkins & Judith Nierhoff, nee Thompson.

Denny grew up in Glen Ellyn, lived in both Winfield and Wheaton, before calling Naperville his final home. He was a quiet and thoughtful soul, a creative artist, and an extremely talented drummer. He played in several bands over the years, but he was most proud being a member of The RailRiders Band. He worked at the Naperville Crate & Barrel Warehouse as an Inventory and Forklift Operator for the past 20 years. Denny was definitely a "Pepsi" guy and had a great and silly sense of humor. His laughter will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his daughters, Jessica Tompkins & Dana (Joey) Allsworth; his grandchildren Tyler & Ariel Allsworth; his parents; and his siblings Craig (Ann) Tompkins & Lisa (Steve) Helwink. Also survived by several nieces and nephews.
