I just found out about SSG Denny’s passing and it’s very heartbreaking. I served with Phil for eight years in the National Guard and remember seeing him back in action with the Texas State Guard. Sergeant Denny was one of the good guys and will be deeply missed. He was always friendly, helpful, and funny. He was a true leader who always cared for his soldiers. Phil will always be missed and remembered as I plan on passing down everything he taught me to my soldiers who are now under me. Fair Wind good sir. You were one of the good guys.
Many of us in the National Guard are sadden to hear of Staff Sergeant Denny’s passing. As many of us continue to learn of this sad news, we are putting up pictures and sharing some good times we had with Phil. He was always respected, loved, and appreciated. Sergeant Denny always put others before himself and was a true leader. Funny, caring, and a true Patriot. We will always miss and remember him. Rest In Peace brother. A part of you will always be with us.
He was an awesome leader, mentor, love telling jokes and Friend. I remember when i was an E4 the fuelers was running late from a mission. I walk over to the dfac to get our food and they didn't have enough. So, SSG Denny reach into his own pocket and gave me money to buy something to eat. I told him no ill do it and he argue with me. He has soldiers eat before he do. He will not let any one go hungry. I took that lesson and learn from it. I live by that lesson solider comes first. R I P WE MISS YOU
I never forget all the good times we have had.. It was an honor to know you and serve with you.. I pray that when its my time I get to go where you are.
So sorry for your loss. Phil was such a nice guy and will be missed by his friends at Strokers.
I was heartbroken to hear about Phillip. My prayers are with all of you. So very, very sorry. While I cannot be there with you, know that I am with you in spirit.
