There isn’t much I can say about ‘Den-man’ that hasn’t already been said. He was one of the sweetest men I’ve ever known and one of the best friends a man could ever have. I will sorely miss my brother in Christ, and envy him as well, for he has beat me to the prize! I love you…Den-man!!!
Each time I saw Denny he greeted me with an anthusiam like he hadn’t seen me in ages. That always made me feel good. I will miss him. Darra
Denny and I worked together at old Autohaus quite some time ago–
I believe it was in the early ’80’s. In all my memories of him, we are enjoying a laugh together. I flatter myself if I think that his sense of humor often paralleled mine, but it’s true.
I can never forget him.
My prayers and thoughts are with the
family and friends at this time. May
fond memories help fill the void in
your hearts. Blessings and peace,
Betty Nelon Rhodes formerly of Fairview
Our prayers are with you. Denny was an inspiration to us all. He lived the life that I want to have and his faith and spirit brought joy to everyone around him. I am thankful for his life touching ours. we love you
Heart felt thoughts and prayers to each of you. We all have lost a very dear friend. I’ve known Denny for a very long time and I shall dearly miss him. I will always remember that sweet smile of his. Denny was a very giving person who was always willing to lend a helping hand. Please forgive me for not being able to attend services as today is a birthday that I will have a hard time with. I cared very deeply for Denny and I will miss him very much. I held Dane in my arms and watched him grow, and saw the pride that Denny had for him. Denny’s beautiful smile and kindness will always be with me. I pray that we will all find strength to understand that we can no longer have him with us as he is in a beautiful place. I will miss you Denny. Lovingly, Margaret
DENNY WAS A WONDERFUL MAN WHO WILL BE MISSED BY SO MANY .WE WAS SO BLESSED BY HIS SWEET SPIRIT AND LOVE FOR JESUS. OUR THOUGHTS AND
PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.WE LOVE YOU
Denny had one of the most wonderful, beautiful smiles I had ever seen and he always made me feel like a million dollars! His love of God was so evident in his life and he was and is an inspiration to me. We initially met Denny at NABC where he aways made me feel like I was his best friend. Later, I had the privilege of getting to travel to Israel with Denny. He was so much fun! The trip would never have been the same without him and I will never forget that wonderful smile that would light up a room. Denny will be missed and no one can fill his shoes, but he is no longer in pain and would not come back to this place for love or money. God had a bigger plan for Denny Gant. My thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the family.

Dane,
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your father. After I left the C-T, I lost my mother April 4. She is in a better place now. I was online to view her memorials when I noticed your father’s name and thought he might be related to you. My prayers are with you.
