Bradley D. "Brad" Denny

Bradley "Brad" D. Denny, 60, has passed away on May 19, 2021. He was born on September 3, 1960, in Rockford, Illinois, son to Glenn Denny and Eleanor Beach. Brad attended East High School and later wed Sandy "Shookie" Fuller in Galena, Illinois on September 8, 2001. He worked where he and Sandy met, Rockford Memorial Hospital, as a security officer and through time was promoted to a security supervisor position. When he could, Brad lived his life to the fullest. He enjoyed spending time fishing with his sons, bowling, watching his favorite sports team, The Chicago Bears, enjoying muscle cars (specifically his '06 GTO) and watching his favorite TV show, Gunsmoke. Something that brought a lot of joy to Brad was finding things like comics, sports memorabilia and superhero collectables to take home and add to his ever growing collection. But, what Brad loved most, was his family. He would take yearly trips to Maui, Hawaii with Sandy, he would make a point to go to every possible event he could for his kids, and later enjoying videos of his grandkids events. His family was everything to him. He was the type of person who was positively contagious. His smile, laugh, joking manner and calm nature will be missed by all that knew him.

He will be missed by those who loved him most, his wife of 19 years, Sandy; his children Bradley "B" (Kim) Denny, Daniel (Megan) Denny, Zachary (Miranda) Glawe, Morgan (Jayson Villamil) Glawe, Jacob (Amanda) Glawe, Tyler (Kayla Schlensker) Glawe, Nicholas (Mitchell) Huftalin, and Alex Glawe; his grandchildren, Melanie, Bradley, Payton, Nathan, Luke, Jack, Jaimee, and one on the way, as Brad would call him, "Sargent Carter"; his parents Glenn (Shari) Denny and Eleanor Larson; brothers Jeffery (Debbie) Denny and Alan (Kate) Raymer; stepsister Jessica (Matt) Fleming alongside numerous nieces, nephews, mother in law Dolores Fuller and beloved friends. A very special thank you to Jim Holland for all the care and support he provided to Brad, he went above and beyond the call of duty as a neighbor. He was predeceased by his step father, Denny Larson and father in law Robert Fuller.
