So sorry, We think the world of Denzel and Carolyn, Denzil will be missed at Parkway by everyone. I could only hope to live 81 years and be so full of life till the last few seconds as did he, God decided he needed him more than we,and if given the choice I know he wouldn't come back if he could. We will ask God to give his wonderful family strenght in these diffuclt times. Terrell House and all the Parkway staff.

What a dear sweet man!!! He was one of the best men I know. He was known to my kids as "Papaw Denzel". He leaves behind a great legacy with his wonderful family. He will be dearly missed. Praying for Carolyn, Stacha, Stan, Kaitlin, Marcus, Paige, and Cody.

This dedicated man was a great volunteer who went above and beyond the actual duties of the faithful who give of their time at MCRC. We will greatly miss his congenial personality and dedication to people as he assisted those who needed him the most. God gained a fantastic angel this past week. Now he can be a doorkeeper of the Holy City when he is not visiting with loved ones he has missed so much.

We were shocked to see that Denzil had passed away. It seems like yesterday that we saw Denzil and Carolyn walking at the mall. So sorry for your loss.
