Dennis Edward O'Shaughnessy, 76, of Cannon Beach, Oregon passed away peacefully at his home on September 22, 2025. He was a beloved father, grandfather, brother and friend to many. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Denny was born in Portland, Oregon on June 2, 1949 as the second of six children to Sam and Alice O'Shaughnessy.
