Denver was a long-time resident of the area. He was a veteran, where he served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam era. He graduated from EOSC with his Associates Degree and was in the ROTC. Denver was self-employed, raised chickens and cattle, and worked as a rancher. He will be missed by his family and all who knew and loved him.
He wrote this poem:
“I’ve walked on the Arctic IceCap and on the shores of the Phillipine Sea, Been to Nan-Madol and the Costa del Sol, Seen all that I could see, been to Saipan, Jaypan, Vietnam, Malmo, Olongopo, and Sasebo, Hongkong, Saigon, and Kobenhavn. I’ve walked I the Black Forest of Germany, strolled thru the Gardens of Tivoli, watched the Fire Fall in the Valley of Yosemite, and saw the tulips in bloom on the Eider Dee”. ~ by: Denver Cogburn
