Mr. Brashear was a mainstay at the sheep barn for all the years I showed sheep at the fair. He was kind and friendly and always picked on me along with teaching me many things. I am thankful for his dedication to all of us and his wonderful personality that made the many weeks of my 4H life growing up fun! He will be missed by so many of us.

Dente was a very kind man. My mother worked with him for many years at Hydro-Aire and she considered him "one of her boys." Dente could make you laugh and my mother, Barbara, enjoyed working with him. He will be missed by all that were fortunate enough to meet him, work with him and love him. Rest in Peace Dente! Your work here is done and may I say... job well done!

Cheryl and family. Words cannot express how very sorry I am to read that Denny had passed away. He has suffered for a long time. God saw him suffering and took him home with him so that he was not suffering any more. Denny was such a kind loving husband, father, grandfather, Son, brother and friend. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you.

Dente was a huge influence in my life, and my 4-H experience would have been a lot different without him. from the way he said Aight to giving us a hard time there was no one like him. He told me one day his Job was to put the fear of God in us when we where young then have fun with us when we got older, and he sure did that. He will truly be missed. Gods Speed Dente. My prayers to your Family.
