We lost a sweet and kind soul.  I will miss those long phone calls with you Dennis.   I will always cherish the memories of you wheeling around Bree when she was around 4 in the wheelbarrow, swinging her in that big hammock, making sure she had a pillow for comfort, 🥰 and all the great times at La Finca.  You were loved by so many and will be missed so much.  Fly high Denny Ray!  ❤️
Scott and I are both truly saddened to hear this news! Denny was such a wonderful human and loved all those he could fiercely! We are truly blessed to have had him our lives and will remember all the fun times and laughs we shared! Our thoughts and prayers are with Tony and the damy during this difficult time.

Denny Ray had a way of connecting to everyone he met.  He and I connected over our love of art and freedom of expression.  I'll never forget the night he and I spontaneously danced on the dock of their beautiful pond.  Such a sweet unexpected moment, but he had a way of bringing that love and creativity out in people.

Fly high Denny Ray and all of our love to Tony and his family.

Just so heartbreaking to lose Denny way too soon.  What a talented guy who would always amaze with his latest astonishing creations. What I think about most with him are the conversations that would take place late at night at one of their epic gatherings or even midday while at work. Not one for small talk, he would have a way of revealing deep insights about any subject while at the same time make you feel like you were the most important person in the room while he was talking to you.

The love story between he and Tony is the stuff of legend.  Amazing stories. The two of them together shared a partnership through life that we should all aspire to.

Many many people from all walks of life will miss you Denny Ray. Much love to the equally amazing Tony and all of the family.

He was such a beautiful soul. Anyone who ever met him was blessed beyond measure. His love of life and the beautiful things that he created, the sweet and deep relationship that he shared with his soulmate and the love that he shared with everyone was beautiful. I’ll always love you Denny Ray.
I’m so sorry to hear of Denny’s passing.  My prayers for peace and comfort to Tony and the family! 
There are so many special memories with him it's hard to choose one. But a conversation we had about Shirley the elephant was a very memorable one. Heartfelt condolences to the family.
Dennis was a very wonderful man. He had such a youthful heart, he was so creative, but he was also so fun! He absolutely loves to not only have fun but provide fun. Tony is in our prayers. Life is so short and precious, so to all of us in Dennys past, let us cherish each other and support anyone who needs us in his memory.
