A man who pleaded guilty in a crash that left a Burnsville priest dead was sentenced on Wednesday.

Trejean Curry was ordered to complete 40 hours of community service and spend up to five years on supervised probation for the death of 73-year-old Dennis Dempsey, who was a priest at the Church of the Risen Savior in Burnsville, in 2021. He’ll also have to complete a 150-day jail sentence that can be served in 30-day increments, according to prosecutors.

As previously reported by 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, Curry, 28, entered a guilty plea to criminal vehicular homicide in January.

Several of Dempsey’s loved ones spoke in court Wednesday morning, describing him as being dedicated to service and bringing people together.

Curry accepted responsibility and briefly expressed remorse for his actions before he was sentenced.

Dakota County Attorney Kathy Keena said it wasn’t the outcome her office initially wanted but, due to factual disputes and with the blessing of Dempsey’s loved ones, they agreed to the sentence.
