Denver and Debra traveled for many years throughout the United States as well as into Canada with his career in welding and tank inspection. Denver worked for several companies including Matrix, Magellan, BP, Enbridge and most currently for Cleveland Integrity.

Denver and Debra traveled for work but always enjoyed coming home for the holidays and being with their families. He loved horses, his tractor and his children not necessarily in that order. He was very passionate about his work and westerns. Going hunting, golfing or grilling outside was some of his other passions. Denver was well-known in the area as a well witcher and prepper. He always enjoyed talking and visiting with others about making sure you had enough guns, bullets and food. Denver is often described as a very personable, dedicated and compassionate individual.
