Dennis Wiseman

Dennis Robert Wiseman, 64, of Mishawaka, passed away peacefully at his home October 25, 2026. Dennis was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, and he will be deeply missed.

Dennis was born in Mishawaka, IN on November 5, 1961, to the late Robert “Bob” Wiseman and Margit “Marge” (Miko) Wiseman. Surviving are his children, Joel (Olivia) Wiseman of Edwardsburg, MI, and Lauryn (Greg) Kutis of South Bend, IN; grandchildren, Lyla Niedbalski, Freya Wiseman, and Willow Kutis; siblings, Thomas (Denise) Wiseman of Buhl, ID, Karla (Michael) Bronicki of Edwardsburg, MI, and John (Denise Sullivan) Wiseman of South Bend, IN; a step-brother, Montgomery (Kathleen) Kelly of Elkhart, IN; as well as several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Dennis was preceded in death by his step-mother, Betty Wiseman, and a step-brother, Martin Kelly.

After graduating from Penn High School in 1980, Dennis attended Purdue University and remained a loyal Boilermaker fan. Dennis worked for the better part of 20 years at Spartan Tool, LLC and took pride in the work he did there, speaking fondly of his experiences. He was a member of the St. Joseph APA and Diltz Pool Leagues where he collected many trophies and awards, earning trips to Las Vegas to compete at the national level. Most of all, Dennis enjoyed spending time with his family, often around the grill or over a warm meal, which he cooked with love.

Dennis will be remembered for his sense of humor, his love of music, his culinary creativity around the holidays, and most importantly as a devoted and loving father and grandfather.

In accordance with Dennis’ wishes, cremation has taken place. A time to visit with family and friends is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 10am – Noon, with a brief service at Noon, all at Cruz Family Funeral Home, Mishawaka.
