William Denson

Our beloved William David Denson, affectionately known as "Bill," "Bo," "Dad," and most of all, "Pawpaw," passed into the arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ, on the morning of September 21, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.
Bo was a devoted husband, a proud father, a cherished grandfather and great-grandfather, a loving brother, uncle, and a loyal friend. He lived with a rare fullness of heart, loving people with his whole being, and giving freely of himself to everyone he met.
After graduating from Santa Fe High School, Bo proudly served his country in Vietnam. His courage, loyalty, and sense of duty in the U.S. military reflected the same strength of character that defined his life.
Following his service, Bo went on to start and grow several successful businesses in both Texas and Oklahoma. He later built a respected career with Team Industrial Services, where he served as Vice President of Business Development until his retirement. Known for his leadership, insight, integrity, and generous spirit, Bo made lasting impressions wherever he went.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Alton and Eloise Denson, and his sister, Karen Elliott.
Bo leaves behind his loving wife of 43 years, Patricia, with whom he shared a lifetime of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion. Their bond was a beautiful example of commitment and partnership, and their love continues to inspire those who have had the pleasure of knowing them.
He is also survived by his siblings: sister Beverly and husband Michael Nevels, brother Len and wife Shannon Denson, and brother Larry and wife Patricia Denson, sister Kimberly and husband Darrell.
His children: Andrea and husband Matthew Dahl, Amy and husband David Geoghagan, Tanis and husband Philip Ugalde, and Tammy and husband Gary Smith.
He was a deeply adored "Pawpaw" to his grandchildren: Ashlie, Malak, Joseph, Noah, Faith, Brennan, Bailey, Matthew, Ryan, Elizabeth, Christian, Gabriel, Stefan, Ray, Kaeli, Jaycob, Maddie, Gabbie, John, Wesley; and great-grandchildren Hayden, Haitham, Brandon, Carter, Layla, Aaliyah, Levi, Ella, Azran, Baker, Blake, and Boston. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends whose lives he touched.
To say Bo made a difference is an understatement. His warmth, quick wit, and one-of-a-kind "Denson-isms" left a lasting impression on all who knew him. Whether sharing a quiet moment or telling stories that brought a room to tears of laughter, he had the gift of making others feel truly seen and loved.
Though our hearts are heavy, we celebrate a life well lived, one full of laughter, love, faith, and honor. Bo's legacy will live on in the stories we tell, the lessons he taught us, and the love he poured into our lives.
A celebration of his life will be held Sunday, September 28, 2025, at Carnes Funeral Home in Texas City, Texas. Visitation begins at 2:00 p.m. followed by a memorial service that will begin at 3:00 p.m.
