I will remember Eric Denney with admiration forever - especially because he was our neighbor, and the dad of my dance student, Justyn Denney. She and her brother Galen played with my own 2 children joyfully, and Eric was a quiet and patient and loving dad whose presence ensured that his children had those same qualities. Rest in peace, Eric.

We have known Eric since Justyn and Galen were little children living across the street from us, and remember him as gentle, kind, friendly, warm, and a devoted father. Our thoughts are with all of his loved ones.

As members of his extended family, we are terribly saddened with Eric's passing. We know how deeply his kids and their kids cared about him -- and still do. He was a tough guy and put up a long fight, that grit helping those who care so much keep him longer than anyone at first hoped. We'll miss his laugh and sharp humor, his willingness to help, but mostly his caring for those he loved. Eric will live in their memories. Much love to all the family.
