He was born in Middlesboro, Kentucky on August 13, 1951 to the late Tilmon and Mary Brittan Cosby.
Dennis loved the Lord and dedicated his life to serving Him. He began preaching at the young age of 16 and pastored at many churches including Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Mt. Gilead Missionary Baptist Church, Riverside Missionary Baptist Church, and Riverview Missionary Baptist Church. Dennis had a godly love for people – especially children and the elderly. It was of most importance to him to visit hospitals and nursing homes, ministering to those in need. All who were blessed to have known Dennis as their Pastor, family member, or simply friend will miss him so dearly.

In addition to his parents, Tilmon and Mary Cosby, he was preceded in death by his brothers Denvil Cosby, Jimmy Cosby, Troy Cosby, Coy Cosby, and Ronnie Cosby, and sisters Maxine Cosby, Faye Ellison, Jean Brooks, Wanda Cosby, and Patricia Cosby.
