an accident where he broke his back. He worked at the Knoxville VA Hospital for 29

Denny was a character and enjoyed playing a few jokes and having a nickname for
everyone he cared about. He loved the outdoors and you could find him mowing his
yard and hanging out with his dogs – Kate and Jack. He loved to go mushroom
hunting, fishing and ice fishing, deer hunting, and just about anything to keep him
outdoors.
He will be greatly missed by his wife of 24 years, Patty Williams; children: Chistine
(Chris) House, Skeeter (Susie) Schone, and Stacy (Amy) Schone; grandchildren: Lacy,
Walter, Elizabeth, Michael, Shane, Jordan, Shane, and Levi; 20 great grandchildren;

nephews, relatives and friends.

Bradley Roberts; granddaughter, Kandi Lee; and siblings: Donald Williams Jr, Howard
Williams, Phil Williams, and Frank Williams.
