Denny grew up in the Monroe/Marion, SD area and attended a country school and Marion High School. A man of all trades, he worked in the Sioux Falls area as a carpenter, repairman, HVAC and sales in his early adult years.On November 29, 1975, he married Georgia Sturdevant and welcomed her three beautiful daughters into his big arms.

In 1981 they moved to Newcastle, WY where Denny began a 25 year career with True Oil Company. He was rounding out his working life in sales for ESP pumps. Denny was a quiet unassuming man, but never a loner. He formed many close friendships over the yearsDenny loved to work, whether he was getting paid or not, and play was his reward. As often as possible, all seven (and later any number of grandchildren) loaded up a camper and boat-pulling pick-up to enjoy a week or week-end in the outdoors with the family and sometimes meeting friends along the way. Denny shared his love for fishing and camping with all of them, and taught each one how to love these experiences that he saw were important to a great life. He is preceded in death by his parents, one brother, and an uncle. The family survivors include his wife, Georgia and children; Amy (Bryan) Martini of Sheridan, WY; Stacey (Jesse) Frank of Spearfish, SD; Sara (Steven) Hofmann of Spearfish, SD; Michelle (Ryan) Switzenberg of Sheridan, WY; and Lisa Alberts (Jason Thompson) of Moorcroft, WY.
