Dear Friends,

Transplant-A Gift For Life by Denny Mahoney will premier Tues / March 20 at 9pm....PBS/TPT Channel 2

Please tell all your friends and family and share and support Denny's Legacy

Dear Mahoneys,
I'm saddened to hear about Denny. I only met him a couple of times (for the documentary,) but I was in awe of his work promoting organ donation. His message will live on and many lives will be saved because of his work.

I have been thinking of Denny constantly since running into him at Tao Foods last month. I finally called Toa Foods today to check on him...only to learn he had passed. I am so sad for all of us. Denny was and is timeless

Thank you, Denny, for always greeting me with your beautiful smile, your infectious laugh and your warm, caring hug. You will be dearly missed, but your mission and life's purpose will carry on...

To all the Mahoney's
Very sad to hear about the death of Denny, my heartfelt condolences to you. I lost touch with Denny over the years but kept hearing about the important work he was doing.Our families had a lot of fun times together when we were all growing up, many good memories of Denny and his fun loving personality. Prayers to all of you for your loss.

He lit up the world. We will all do our parts to carry some of his light forward. We'll all miss him. Love and support to all those near and dear to him.

The world is a sadder place without Denny. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. Denny was always such a surprise for me. It has been years since he would surprise me by showing up in Mankato at my dormitory door for a visit. We had more fun all those years ago. Thanks to Mike and my sister for putting two and two together. He will be missed because he was so loved. God speed, Denny.

Dear Mahoneys,
I am very sorry for your loss of Denny. I can picture his adorable smile from when we were kids.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Mahoney family at this most difficult of times. Denny always put a smile on our faces. He'll be remembered fondly by Joel and I.

Within the last couple of weeks I told Denny
who was eating soup at Lucias'
that he looked good.. and meant it ..
his aura was positive.. perhaps serene
He said ... " you look great yourself "
I saw Denny frequently since coming back ( 2009 ) from a ten year hiatus in Costa Rica.
Always brief encounters
I saw him go through his metamorphosis with dignity and grace ..
He embraced it and I applaud him for that.
Farewell friend ..

I encourage you all to read the poem " Ithaca "

Positive energy to
Dennys' family
friends, & colleagues

The world needs more people like you, Denny. Your kindness, passion, and humor will be missed. Rest in peace, my friend.

I spent many a morning with Denny and his coffee and newspaper. Of all the pearls of wisdom, good natured, off handed barbs, and genuine conversation I think I'll thank him most for making me check that little box on my MN driver's license application reading "ORGAN DONOR".

"Give me some SUGAR"....Denny had his special ways of speaking and spreading his love. Today it is snowing the most perfect light fluff and I just know that as I adventure out this morning to backcountry ski I am surrounded by graceful Denny SUGAR....when I reach the top I will send all energy I have your way - family in mn today - special mounds of sugar to anna, and great grandma. xo smile

I send my thoughts and prayers to the Mahoney family. I am very sorry for your loss. I attended St. Thomas Apostle and Benilde High School with Denny. Rest in Peace Denny.

Condolences to the Mahoney family. So many fun memories of Denny during our teens, 60's and 70's Benilde-St Margaret's, adventures in Arizona as well as MN. A wonderful soul!

To the Mahoney family from the Blake's: Carol, Mother, Nancy, Jimmy,Cindy John, Jeff, Joe and Barb - our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. So sad to hear of Denny's passing. He will be missed. We have wonderful memories of all the Mahoney's going back to St Thomas, Christ the King....and Jimmy remembers fondly all the laughs at golf. RIP, our friend.

Denny Mahoney will be missed by so many.... so special, so loved.. my Spartacus... Love you.. miss you always... Jennifer Chapman, Carlsbad, CA

My fondest childhood memories include the times I spent in the Mahoney home..it was full of laughter and good times... I am thinking of you all now at this sad time...Debbie Smith

I lived in SW Mpls as a child and went to grade school with all of the Mahoneys'. We went to St. Thomas The Apostle. They were and still are a wonderful family. Through the years I ran into Denny at various places. My heart goes out to the family and Denny, keep on shining. Peace.

Oh Denny boy,

The world is a poorer place without you in it.
I miss you now and always my brother from another...

Denny,
You were such an inspiration to me. I never met someone with a bigger heart. You were such an important person in my life. You inspired many people, and forever I will check the donor box ;)
Hope there is golf in heaven.

To all the family...I'm sad for your loss...though I was - as we all were - privileged to know and laugh with Denny for many years. He will rest in peace and will never be forgotten.

Denny interviewed Deborah and me for his “Gift For Life” documentary. I'll remember him as a man who was kind, passionate and very, very dedicated to this much needed cause. May you rest in peace.

Denny, your brilliance continues to shine forth--know that you have inspired me, my sons, and all you know

Denny, you were a lovely man. Thank you for inspiring me. Love to you.
