Steven Denny Obituary

Steven Denny, 72, of Waverly, Iowa, died Friday September 26th, 2025 at the Pillar of the Cedar Valley. He was born June 22, 1953 in Cedar Falls, Iowa, the son of John Denny and Shirley Frandsen. He graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 1971.

Steven spent many years working as a mechanic in Cedar Falls and later in life owned and operated Denny's Automotive in Waverly. If he wasn't taking care of his lawn, Steve enjoyed spending time in his garage fixing and building things. In addition, he loved spending time with his two sons and his grandchildren.

He is survived by his two sons, Matthew (Kacie) Denny of Cedar Falls, Brett (Shannon) Denny of Queen Creek, Arizona; 5 grandchildren, Bayne, Bryor, Paxton, Briggs, and Brock; and 4 brothers, John (Gail), Jim (Diane Berry), Jeff (Lori) and Robert Denny. Steven was preceded in death by his parents John Denny and Shirley Frandsen. A private remembrance will be held at a later date.
