Dennis R. Zeller, 82, of Sheboygan, passed away at home on May 6, 2026. He was born on June 5, 1943, to the late Richard and Florence (Knabe) Zeller. Dennis graduated from Sheboygan North High School in 1962.
In high school, Dennis met Nancy Henning. They got married on February 27, 1965, settled in Sheboygan, and raised two daughters. They recently celebrated their 61st anniversary. Dennis was also a U.S. Air Force veteran; he and Nancy lived in Japan while he was stationed at Itazuke Air Force Base.
After his military service, Dennis began a long and dedicated career as a Route Manager at Coca-Cola Co., where he worked for more than 30 years before retiring in 1998. During his career, Dennis developed a passion for collecting fun coke-branded items and filled the family’s basement with a wide array of interesting memorabilia.
Dennis was a long-time member of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church. He enjoyed working in the yard, traveling, and golfing, and spent many days after retirement out on the golf course followed by coffee or lunch with friends. While he played different places across the country, his favorite course was right in his own backyard – Sheboygan Town & Country.
Dennis is survived by his wife, Nancy Zeller; his two daughters, Denise (Todd) Zwirschitz and Julie (Kevin Litwicki) Zeller; his grandchildren Emilie Dozer, Lily Dozer, Will Zwirschitz, Amelia Litwicki, Clare Litwicki and Felix Litwicki; one sister, Dianna (David) Mclaughlin; and many other relatives and friends.
