Obituary
In Loving Memory
of Jeffrey Paul Denning
Jeffrey Paul Denning passed away
peacefully on November 1, 2024, at the age of 61.
Born on December 5, 1962, Jeff was a loving and
dedicated father, a loyal friend, and a caring soul
who left a profound mark on all who knew him.
He is survived by his cherished daughters, Ashley
Hendricks (Mike) and Whitney Hendricks (Tim), whose
lives he filled with love and wisdom. He also held a
special place in his heart for his stepchildren and
adored his grandchildren, who brought him endless
joy. His family meant the world to him, as did his
beloved dogs, who were defining aspects of his life.
Jeff is also survived by his brother John Denning
(Arlene) and his sister Ann Matson (Randy).
He was preceded in death by his parents, Dorothy and
John Denning; his brother, Mike Denning; and his
wife, Julie Denning. The love and memories of those
he lost remained sources of strength and guidance
throughout his life.
A respected figure in Corrections, Jeff was admired
by his colleagues for his integrity, commitment, and
compassion. His work left a lasting legacy, as did
the warmth and humor he shared with family and
friends.
At his request, there will be no formal services. A
private family celebration of life will be held at a
future date to honor the memory of a man whose
spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved
him.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Jeff’s
honor to Stray Rescue of St. Louis, reflecting his
deep love for animals.
Rest in peace, Jeffrey Paul Denning. You are loved
beyond measure and will be missed more than words
can express. |
