Denny Garver

Denny Garver was born August 26, 1957 in Dallas, Texas to parents Frank Edward and Artie Mae Garver.

Denny worked for the U.S. Postal Service for 36 years and coached youth sports in Plano for 40 years including teams from Plano Senior High and Plano West Senior High. Throughout his many years of coaching, he mentored countless young people who look up to him today as a positive figure in their lives. Each year, a baseball player from Plano West Senior High is awarded the Denny Garver Scholarship, based on merit, character and with the intent of furthering their education.

His passion was for his family, and he was devoted to his wife of 40 years, Debbie. He was incredibly proud of his son, Matt and daughter in law Moriah and couldn't wait to show off new pictures of his grandsons, Maxton and McCoy to anyone that would look.

Denny never met a stranger and he had the special gift of seeing the good in everyone. He was truly the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back if he saw someone in need.

Denny is survived by his wife Debbie Garver, son Matt Garver and his wife Moriah, grandsons Maxton and McCoy Garver, brother Frank Garver, sister Debbie James and her husband David, sister Donna Odle and her husband Gary, nieces and nephews Todd Odle, Jeff Odle, Michael James, Meredith Reno, Chip Reno, Landry Reno, Hudson Reno, and Emerson Reno. He was preceded in death by his parents Frank and Artie Garver.
