Dorris and family. I am so sad to just now be reading concerning the passing of Roy. He and I coached together at North Garland for several years. If I had known, I would have been in attendance at his funeral. I remember he always had a smile on his face and loved working with kids. May he rest in peace.
Roy Denney was my Junior Varsity football coach at North Garland HS 1990-1992 and he was a good man that always pushed us to be better. There was a group of us he called the “Roy’s” and we were always running next to him during 7 on 7 drills. He would joke around and poke fun at us but it was all for show. He proudly wore his signature bucket hat like Landry wore the fedora. We would tease him back because he would wear sunglasses in the the dark early mornings of two- a-day practices. He was a real character.
We all loved him and I’m sad to hear that he has passed. No doubt he’s coaching up and joking around with his peers in heaven.
Rest In Peace Coach Denney.Sincerely,
Randall Garey
Doris and Kelli,Our hearts break for you both. We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband and father. At a time when your whole world suddenly feels different, remember you have people caring for you and hoping you’re okay.We love you and send our healing prayers and comforting hugs, Dani, Terry and Joe
Doris, sorry about Roy. I do remember some good times with yall.I’ve forwarded the message to Chuck and Linda Northwick and David and Sandy Allen.
Roy was my friend and neighbor for many years before we moved away. I couldn’t have asked for a better one. Although we hadn’t been in touch for awhile, Roy’s big, friendly smile, willing and helpful manner and his devotion and love for his family are a few of the things that I remember about him. So long, my Friend. It was good to know you.
He was my favorite coach I ever played for. I played under his tutelage in 1960 and 1961 at Greiner Jr. High. He knew his baseball, but he cared more about building our character and preparing us to be productive and caring adults, than winning. Of course he enjoyed winning, as well, and we did. God bless him and may he rest in holy peace.
Dear Doris,
I saw Roy and you last at dinner with you in Dallas with Joyce and Bobby Lee and some others, a happier time for us all with stories of your success in Las Vegas and exchanging family news. I am glad to remember Roy that way and to know of the happy years you had together.
Doris and Kelli,What an amazing life Roy had! He had an INCREDIBLE and DEVOTED wife in Doris, and a LOVING and KIND daughter in Kelli. He loved his job as a coach and teacher. He enjoyed countless hours on the golf course enjoying time with his friends. He ventured with the family on many vacations. He simply had it all.I was lucky to know Roy this past decade, and even luckier to have been gifted with his Irish Golfing Prayer and 100’s of golf balls. Every time I am out on the course, I will wait in the tee box for the “Roy Denney Breeze,” and smile when it hits my face. There is one thing that I need to thank Roy for, and that is for Kelli. She is my sole and soul best friend in life, and is a remarkable woman. I have no doubt that Kelli will keep the Roy Denney stories alive in a way that only Kelli can!Doris and Kelli, I love you both.Maureen Brown“Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes, we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.
All is well” (Irish Blessing)
Aunt Doris, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I love you and Uncle Roy dearly. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Ruth
