I'm a local General Contractor who has used Johns Plumbing for over 30 yrs.I met Denver when he started with Johns about 10 yrs ago. He was a very hard worker willing to be taught about construction and plumbing. We both had common interests. He liked to fish and so did I. I would call him when I had extra fish and he would come get them. We also shared a love for christian music. I would play pandora radio on my jobsite and we would both sing along during the day. We both sang in our church praise and worship groups. His love for the Lord was always on his face. I saw him about 3 weeks before he passed and he told me he had perfect peace. Going to miss that smile and his Jamaican accent.

I met Denver George Samuels 15 years ago in Negril, Jamaica. We were married 4 years later on Valentines Day and Denver arrived in Tampa 1/23/03; Nyron & Kion a year later. We only lasted 5 yrs @marriage, but we were best friends and cared dearly for each other. I never imagined not being able to see Denver or hear his voice again, but when he told me he was at peace with God, I knew he was going to be ok. Thank you Denver for your love and friendship. I will 4-ever miss you, but will see you in the eyes and hearts of your children and your grandchildren until we meet again on the other side. I Love You. Helene

I use to wonder why, with countless other churches real close to where Denver lived, he chose south St. Pete to find a church to call home. But after attending a beautiful "Going Home Service" for Denver at his church, the "New Congregational Church Of God" now I know! Some of us "non-members" were co-workers and some were his customers, but all of us loved and admired the man that was, and now angel that is, "Denver Samuels". Not a single one of the members of Denver's church made us feel anything but 100% welcome. I must admit, going down there I was hoping I wasn't overstepping my bounds, but as soon as we walked into the church my concerns were at ease. We were welcomed with open arms! There was no members or non-members, Baptist or Catholic, black or white. We were all children of God placing a most admired brother in the hands of the Lord! To Pastor Mills and all his congregation, thank you welcoming us to pay our respects to Denver and his family at your beautiful Church and service for him. God bless you all!

I only had the pleasure of knowing Denver for the last 4-5 years. In those times Denver was always willimg to help someone - be there. He had a great sense of humor. We enjoyed his company/presense. Our prayers reach out to Denver's family, sons, parents and all family.

I met Denver when he started at John's Plumbing, and have felt blessed to have such a friend from the very first day. We spent many times talking and laughing. Denver was always in a good mood and respectful no matter how bad his day may have been. He was such a inspiration and his faith in our lord was amazing and overflowed to anyone around him. I have never seen him without a smile and he was always happy talking about his lord and his boys, the two things he loved to live for.
We will miss Denver so much!
All my blessing to the boys!

I first met Denver several years ago when he came out to work on one of my rental properties. Having one of the larger property management practices in Tampa Bay I saw Denver many times over these past years as he came to take care of my rental properties and my own properties. I can tell you every single tenant, every single owner and my family was always impressed with his great attitude and skills in resolving our problems. The world is a little dimmer with Denver's passing. I will miss him. Jeff Glass

Say the word "Faith" then say Denver G Samuels. Denver believed from beginning to end God would heal him either on this side or the other. Denver's faith in God remained strong. To the family,Nyron & Kion take rest that God pulled His worker from earth to heaven and remember the love, the laughter & dedication but never forget the hard worker Denver was.Denver loved singing and serving as an usher with his church. So it is great sorrow that his church family has lost one of its faithful servants, but we know God created the final story end.
My love will continue to flow to you Denver forever.
There is power in L. O. V. E.

I had the pleasure to meet Denver about 7 years ago while starting anew business. Denver was an inspiration to me and others in his support. He was a true friend and I am truly proud to have known him and worked with him. He handled himself professionally and cheerfully and never did I hear him complain. I whish him well in the after life with Gods blessings. I wish there were more people like him, He will be truly missed. Steve Ryman business owner

Denver always came into work with a smile and always gave me a hug. He always said"We need a hug everyday." Your sing-song voice and hugs will be missed.

Heaven gained an amazing man. I met him several years ago through my Brother Bryan. Bryan asked Denver to help me with plumbing issues and of course he said yes. From the first moment I met him I felt like I was in the presence of a Friend. Denver was always there to help me when I needed it. Being a single Mom always in need of a plumber I could trust. One call and he would be there. Of course when he was there he always had encouraging words and wonderful stories. Denver made this world a brighter place and will be very missed! My condolences to his Family. Until we meet again my Friend.

In life we tend to meet people who enrich us and those who don't. Denver was a joy to have known. I had the pleasure to work with him on several occasions and have learned from him not just in his craft, but my belief in humanity. I will miss you my friend. May God bless you in your journey ahead.

I know he was well respected and appreciated as one of our "fellow" plumbers in the trades. He will be missed by us and many of his customers as well. God rest your soul brother.

I first met Denver when he came to do a repair four years ago. He was one of the most professional and hardest working people I have ever met. Every day seemed like a great day for Denver. He always had a great attitude and seemed thankful for his blessings. He rarely took time away from work, but loved when he was able to make it back to Jamaica. He was mostly quiet, until you asked him about Jamaica or his family, then he would open up and you could see how much he loved and missed both. My kids even came to know "Mr. Denver" and always enjoyed talking with him when he came to do repairs. I hope he knows how many lives he touched and how much he meant to everyone.

Working in construction can be a lonely job. I don't have "coworkers" in the traditional sense. Over the years I have come know many plumbers, painters, and contractors. Denver is the closest thing I've ever had to a work friend. I used to love pulling up on a job site and seeing him there or when he would call me to tell me about a job, just hearing that terrific accent, it was always such a delight. He was always happy to help my family with anything, no matter how far away they lived. He always had such a great attitude and personality, you couldn't help but love him. He was always a hard worker and he treated people fairly. I will truly miss Denver. My condolences to his friends and family.

As a plumber in this area since 1982, I have worked with many, many plumbers. I'd like Denver's family to know that while some had more experience than Denver, none had more mechanical ability, pride in his work or worked harder than Denver! As a great many of our/his customers will tell you, he truly enjoyed his job and helping people! I'd also like everyone to know how much faith Denver had! He didn't find his faith after he got sick either, he always had it! When he found out how sick he was he said to me, "I'm leaving it in my bosses hands, if he needs my help I'll be more than honored to go help in anyway he needs me too!". I really believe that Denver felt sorry for us, being stuck here in this laborious sinful world, while he's getting his wings!
Godspeed Denver, it has been a pleasure to not only work with you, but to have the privilege to call you "friend".
