Denver Birdwell

The Heavenly Gates opened on February 13, 2024, for Denver Grady Birdwell, 36, of Carrollton, Texas. He passed away peacefully at Parkland Memorial Hospital, surrounded by his loving family serenading him with all his favorite 80’s jams, particularly his #1, David Bowie.

Denver, son of John and Mary (Darst) Birdwell, was born on September 14, 1987 in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from Flower Mound High School in 2006 and spent his professional life in the restaurant and bar industry, dazzling his patrons with that one-of-a-kind smile and enthusiastic (but delightfully terrible) dancing skills.

Denver’s highest priority was his faith and unconditional love for family and friends. He cherished his two boys, Gavin and Grayson, more than anything in this world. He enjoyed making them his family’s famous biscuits and gravy, playing video games, watching movies, and going to Six Flags.

Denver was a master chef who savored cooking everything from Sheppard’s Pie to grilling up an entire feast for the whole family. He was the sweetest, most gentle-souled man; to know Denver was to love him. He touched the lives of so many, sharing his story, words of encouragement, and warm smiles.

Denver is survived by sons Gavin (10) and Grayson (6) of Plano, Texas, mother Mary (Darst) Birdwell of Carrollton, Texas, father John (Sandi) Birdwell of Irving, Texas, sister Lindsey (Chris) Pompizzi of Chicago, Illinois, brother J. Connor (Kat) Birdwell of Carrollton, Texas, sister Rylee (Valerie) Birdwell of Lewisville, Texas, his beloved Granny Wynelle Birdwell, of Irving, Texas, former wife, long time love, Kasia Birdwell of Plano, Texas, and all the innumerable aunts, uncles, and cousins he loved dearly.

A celebration of life will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 2, 2024, at Chase Oaks Church, 611 E. Stacy Rd. Fairview, Tx 75069
