Denver was a prior volunteer fireman for 16 years with the Fayetteville Fire Department, he enjoyed woodworking, riding his motorcycle, camping and photography. Above all, he enjoyed his family. He loved his wife, children and grandchildren with all of his heart. Found among his writings were these words: “To each of you, I ask God’s blessings and guidance. In times past, I felt that one should not mourn the passing of another. I learned that mourning is part of life. Mourn me if you wish. Love me if you can. Live your life to the fullest. Above all, laugh!”
