Pennsauken native Denis Collopy passed away unexpectedly on June 13, 2017, after a brief illness. He was 43.

Denis was the devoted and adoring son of Dennis and Kathleen (Wells); loving husband of Elizabeth (Mattioni) and father of Andrew; brother of Amy (Reid) and Katie; brother-in-law of Jeffrey Reid; uncle of Sydney and Jacob Reid; and loving grandson of Dorothy Amos.

Denis attended Saint Peter’s Roman Catholic School, Camden Catholic High School, and was a graduate of Rutgers University. A die-hard Philadelphia sports fan, Denis had a particular love of baseball, which he shared with Andrew.
