Dennis passed away on Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at the Faith Regional Hospital in Norfolk. Stonacek Funeral Chapel is in charge of the arrangements. Dennis was born June 26th, 1953 to Harold and Mary Ann Harmeier in Artesia, CA. He grew up in Carroll, NE and moved to Norfolk, NE after graduating high school where he lived the remainder of his life. Dennis received an Associate’s Degree in Electronics in 1973 from Northeast Community College and started working at Nucor Steel shortly thereafter. His endless pursuit of knowledge allowed him to become an electrical engineer and enjoy a career at Nucor that spanned nearly 50 years (49 years 5 months to be exact, which is always how he preferred to look at things). He was skilled at solving complex technical problems and was proud of his career contributions. Dennis was a gifted intellect with an outgoing personality and enjoyed sharing stories and conversations with others. In addition to his career, he had an interest for anything related to science and technology and was passionate about cars his whole life. Dennis was a faithful, Godly man who loved the Lord, his family, and his pets, Oscar and Stanley, with all his heart. Dennis is survived by his wife of 46 years, JoAnn Harmeier. He is also survived by sons Curtis (Amy) Hartman of Houston, TX; Scott (Taunia) Harmeier of Yankton, SD; and Matthew Harmeier of Norfolk, NE. He was a proud grandparent to Curtis’ children, Charles, John, and Janice; and Scott’s daughters, Ava and Emma. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Mary Ann; and sister, Beverley Asan. In celebration of Dennis’ life, the family requests only fond remembrances of shared experiences with him. Although his physical presence may no longer grace our lives, his spirit will continue to inspire those who loved him. Pall bearers will be Matthew Harmeier, Scott Harmeier, Curtis Hartman, Joey Stephens, John Stephens, Kenny Preister, Greg Moen, and Joel Dendinger. Honorary pallbearers will be George Elias, William Elias, Charles Elias, Charlie Kasparian, Jonah Stephens, Dean Jenson, Lenny Preister, and David Hamm.
