Denver Sturgill Obituary
[Sept. 20, 2023] After a long battle with dementia, our adored (Great, Great) Grandpa, Father, Denver G. Sturgill has entered Heaven's pearly gates. He was born to his mother Dorothy Chasteen and his father Golden Emery Sturgill on Jan. 14, 1937, in Hamilton, Ohio. He was preceded in death by Demaris Sturgill (Fetters), daughters Carrie Adkins, Christie Lewis, Kelli Sturgill, and granddaughter Shana Ellerthorpe. He is survived by his brother Ed Sturgill and children Denver K Sturgill, Kent E Sturgill, and Cathy Moffit (Sturgill) as well as a quiver full of grandchildren that loved him deeply. He weathered the valleys and ascended mountain tops, always full of wisdom; By his lake house, he taught us to fish and be better people.

I was blessed to have my Uncle Denver all of these years! I cherished the times he would come down to Ga when I was a teenager and fish with me for trout! I will never forget the giant twenty something inch brown trout that he fought all the way to the bank and tried to jerk up the bank And it flopped, right in front of our faces!! See you in heaven soon someday !
