Denver was a loving husband and father. We could have searched the world over millions of times and not found a better man to have been a husband or a father. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family. He had a degree in business management and HVAC. He retired from Marshall University in 2008 and ran his own HVAC business for many years before retirement. After retirement he enjoyed spending time with his family and working in the yard. He was a man of few words but great faith. He will be missed by many. We would like to thank the health care workers and hospice workers who have been with us on this journey. We would also like to say a special thank you to Julie Cooper and Johnathon Cooper who spent endless days and nights helping mom take care of dad. It takes a special loving person with a heart of gold to be able to drop everything and power through their own pain in order to serve the ones they love. Thank you both for the sacrifices you have made. His services will be at Hall Funeral Home and Crematory in Proctorville, Ohio, on Saturday December 28th. Friends will be accepted at 10:00 am and services will be at 11:00 a.m. Graveside services will immediately follow at White Chapel Memorial Gardens in Barboursville WV.
