Denver was the owner of Young's Barbershop in Houston, Texas until he retired in 2011 after more than 40 years in business. He was a hardworking man who lived his life by example. He was an honest man who always had infinite words of wisdom. Up until the end, he had a positive outlook and his sense of humor never left him and he never stopped singing.  His proudest moments were the times spent with his family.  He was a devoted husband, a great father, and a talented musician. He left a beautiful legacy and will be missed beyond words. A special thank you from his family to Cheryl Simmons, and Laurie Butler for helping to make his journey home a blessed one.
