  Dennis T. Oudenhoven, 59, passed away at home Tuesday afternoon with his family at his side after a 17 month battle with brain cancer. He was born Feb. 9, 1950, the son of Ted and Elaine Oudenhoven. He grew up in Green Bay, attending St. Agnes Elementary School and Sacred Heart Seminary. He graduated from St. Norbert College in 1972 and later earned his master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. A life-long educator, Denny began his teaching career at St. John's High School in Little Chute. He then spent four years at St. Mary's in Menasha. In 1977, he began his 32 year career at Xavier High School. During those 32 years, Denny taught numerous classes including British Literature, Honors English 4, Journalism, Creative Writing, and Latin. He was recognized many times for his excellence and dedication to his profession by his peers, the Fox Cities Community, and the Green Bay Catholic Diocese. He was also a dedicated track and basketball coach. He received multiple coach-of-the-year honors and was a two-time recipient of the Red Smith award. Denny's teachings went beyond the classroom or athletic field. His genuine Christian values made him a role model. He will be remembered by all who knew him as a gentleman, scholar, friend, mentor, and quiet leader.

He is survived by his wife, Carla; son, Chip, his wife, Jennifer, and their children, Connor and Grant; daughter, Shannon (Daniels), her husband, Doug, and their children, Ryan and Keira; and son, Dave.
