Going to try this again.  Have so many memories over the years.  Trips, hunting, camping to trying to teach me how to cut EB's hair (think he will find someone new Ha!Ha!)  and morning coffee whenever EB was home with the truck.  Told EB I will always ask him where he was as I never saw you that you did not ask me "where is Uncle EB?"  You had a way about you of being tough but those of us close also know how gentle and loving you were.  One of my memories that sticks out is first time you had heart issues and they flew you to Fort Collins.  Bev and I arrived and we were talking with you and the nurse came in wanting to know if we knew when your aunt would get there as you wouldn't do anything till Auntie Jan arrived.  Her face when I raised my hand and said "I'm here" still makes me laugh.  Love you always till we meet again.  "Auntie Jan"

Oh Grandpa Betty, you will be missed so much and by so many. Thank you for being such a great grandpa to our kids and giving them so many great memories. Thank you for the son that is now my husband and the best father to our children. I see you in him in so many ways (some good some iffy LOL) I know you were proud of your kids and grandkids and all of your family. Some may have only knew or saw the rough and tuff guy, but most of us got to know and love the soft hearted, kind, gentle, and loving husband, father, brother, grandpa, uncle, and friend that you were.  You will be missed so much, but we have so many fond memories and stories to get us through. Life is short and we will be together sooner than we know. Thank you for loving us all so much and so unconditionally. Love you much <3

Thank you to whoever put all the pictures together!  I cried the first time I went through them, and the second & third time.  I remember your first deer too, Whitney, and remember a gun accidentally firing.  Scared the crap out of us!  And I remember how excited Denny & Bev both were when you & Skyler got together!  All of us were!  Will never forget Denny's infectious smile & that flipper finger!  Love to all of you

Denny owned The Favorite Bar in Chadron when I went to school there. I spent way too much time there - mostly because Denny always made it feel like home as he always had a smile and a huge zest for life. Nobody that ever got to spend time with him could ever forget him. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear of your loss.  I do hope the good memories will help you through this time.
Our deepest sympathy,
Anita (Mittan) and Roger Closson

I can't even imagine a world with out you in it, Denny. You were an incredible father-in-law and grandpa! On top of being my father-in-law, you were a father-figure to me, and I cannot express how important you were in my life. I miss you greatly. I'd give anything to hear you call my name, Bobber, one more time.
I have so many memories, I don't even know where to begin. I am lucky to have spent the past 19 years with you, learning to hunt and fish, making up new rules for marbles (the kind that turned family night upside down haha), watching football, and just spending time as a family.
You always loved to tell the story about when I got my first deer. I remember walking in the 20 Bar after the hunt and you yelling, "Fuckin' A, Bobber, fuckin' A." You were so proud, and I remember you made me feel so special. And although I started out cutting worms with a rock, I became a pretty good fisherman thanks to you. My favorite moments though were watching you light up when you teased Charlie (and she would retaliate by kinking your oxygen hose haha) or when Jack would give you the grin you always asked for. They love you so much. We all do. There is a huge hole in our hearts. You were larger than life, and the world has lost a great man. Until we meet again. Love you ❤

Uncle Denny was a One of kind guy, when I first met uncle Denny marrying into the family, I walked into the front door with Kory at her mom and dads house and there He was drinking his coffee at the table, just talking and the first thing he said was theres my little Prick. I was trying to figure out why he called me that. So I asked Earl (Denny brother/ my father in-law/why does he call me a prick. Earl replied you got a nickname so he likes you. Denny would come see aunt Bevie at sunmart where I was also working at the time. And you would here uncle Denny all the way down the isle, there’s my little prick. Didn’t get see him much after we moved to Omaha but when we did visit and his truck was in the driveway and momma Jan’s and Earls house if you had a frown Uncle Denny would turn that frown upside down with his jokes.  I will will always remember those days and will never forget those memories.   My condolences to the family. 
Love  Brandonian 

There are alot of memories but there's one that stands out from the rest. When Whitney and I were living in Green River Wyoming my Aunt Sis, Mom and Denny came to visit. We did some fishing on the river with no luck and drove out to see the wild horses. I can't remember if we planned it or just decided  to go one day but Denny and I went on a fishing trip to Pelican lake in Vernal Utah just the two of us. The lake was mostly full of bass and big blue gill. It was a beautiful day and we were knocking the shit out of em. I only had a 10ft Aluminum boat with a trolling motor which we thought would get us around just fine and it did for the most part. We had a stringer full of fish and things couldn't be any better in that moment. As the day went on a storm started up in the distance but we didn't care, we were having a good time. Next thing you know the storm is on top of us, were on one side of the lake and the only boat dock was on the other side and of course the wind was blowing us the wrong way. No longer was the boat getting us along just fine as we got blown further and further into the weeds around the shore. As we sat there in the rain and hail all we could do was shake our heads and laugh. Luckily the storm only lasted a half hour or so and we still had beer in the cooler so things weren't so bad. We finally made it out of there and back home just to find out are fish had some kind of disease and weren't any good to eat. Despite the ending to our trip I'd give up anything to do it one more time. Love you man

Denny...wow the early memories, foremost as my boxing coach in '72-'73 for Rushville Jaycees when I was a senior at Gordon.  He was a helluva coach, but even more a helluva guy.  We sure tore it up that winter on our way to winning the Class B championship.  Scott Hare had talked me into going out for Denny's team, and we both had one of the best years of our lives.
Then followed the softball years playing against the Rider's.. whew. Missing ya even more Denny..you colored our world your way indeed.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Denny. He was always up for having a good time. The world is lesser place with out Denny. His laugh and smile will be truly missed. Fly high my friend fly high! 

Denny was a cousin of mine....He always had that grin like all of the Handsome Bayne's!  Denny always had a hug for ya at the Family reunions and always a good time at them...you will definitely be missed by so many cuz...until we meet again!  Give all the relatives in Heaven a high five for us down here!!
Like he always said and I will miss "Love ya all"!!!
Will miss ya cuz!!!Love Ya!!

MY CONDOLENCE'S TO DENNY'S FAMILY, HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND, HAD MANY A GOOD TIME WITH HIM WHEN HE RAN 
THE FAVORITE BAR.

Uncle Denny was a one of a kind guy,  I will never forget the first time I met him marrying into the family,  He gave me a nickname right away (Little Prick). I asked Earl, Denny’s brother  why does he call me that. His response was its because He likes you so you get a nickname. And just like that I was uncle Denny’s little prick. He would come in to Sunmart foods and see me working and shout out there’s my little prick. I will always remember those memories Uncle Denny May you Rest In Peace.
My condolences to the family. He will be missed.  
Love Brandon (Little Prick) 

Sure going to miss you Denner.  Will never forget those Rushville hunting trips & Grayrocks fishing tournaments!  Always had so much fun!  Every memory I have of you involves fun & laughter & your big heart.  You & Cushie Bear can run together again now!  Love you always

RIP Denny !!!  I knew Denny my entire life and he was a busy man doing whatever !!  My condolence to his family !! I know he will be missed by many, many people. 

I have so many memories of Denny.  It has been 30 years since I seen or talked to him. To this day I will still remember that big smile and swagger to conquer life. He always opened his door for me - no questions asked.  I mean literally let me stay with him when I had no other place to go. Treated me like part of his family.  RIP Denny.

I remember one of the first times I met Denny, he took Skyler Whitney and I fishing and he was telling me the story of how he gave Whitney the nickname “Bobber”. After telling me the story, before the end of the day, he told me I’m going to call you “Two Mules!...Two Mules for Sister Sarah!” I haven’t been around Denny much over the last quite a few years except for Charlie’s birthday parties, but that memory has always stuck with me and it always gives me a chuckle! 

Denny is my Brother He was also like a father as well with the age spread that we had. Always love to hunt and fish with him! And just spend good  Quality time together. He always a pleasure to be with!  Will truly Miss him! Love you Denny  Bayne.  Was alway proud to say you were my Brother! Tell we meet up again!  Tell all up there Hello from us down here!
