Mike was a son, a husband, a father and a friend to many. He touched, very dearly, the lives of everyone he knew. My father fought the laws of nature by surviving four heart surgeries, three children and living to the young age of 57. We will never forget the things he taught us, the things he did and the love we shared. The most courageous thing Dad ever did was to stand by my mother through her battle with Parkinson’s Disease. That alone defines who Mike Denman was. Thanks Dad, we will always miss you. Chris Denman.
