Denver was an avid Nascar fan and enjoyed taking his nephews to races. He owned and operated Allen Auto Sales in Murrayville, Georgia for over 50 years and ran a go-kart track for several years in the 1970’s. He loved his family and making people laugh was his Number 1 goal. He was always smiling and everything was funny to him. The most important thing to him though happened at the age of 57, when he gave his life to Jesus. He was a member at Chestatee Baptist Church.
