Denny was a vibrant man who stayed young at heart and loved his family dearly. Many people will remember seeing him sitting own his front porch in the morning. He could do just about anything including racing which he did for twenty-five years, winning many trophies in the process. He was a mechanic and farmer by trade and loved taking care of his cattle. He often ran an excavator whenever anyone needed some digging done. 

In addition to his wife, Robin, Denny is survived by nine children and stepchildren; a brother, Willey Ray; a sister Janet Caudill (Brad); an aunt, Sedona Edgington (Jim); eight grand children; and many great-grandchildren.

Denny was previously widowed being preceded in death by his late wife, Patricia Ray. Also preceding him is a brother, Marty Ray.
