DENNY WAYNE CALHOUN

West Plains, Mo.

Denny Wayne Calhoun passed away April 18, 2020,

at Ozarks Medical Center in West Plains, Mo., after an unrelenting, courageous battle with cancer.

He was born Aug. 15, 1948, to Edman (Bill) and Neoma Calhoun in Henry County, Iowa.

He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Randall and Eddy Dean.

Surviving are his wife, Sydney; two daughters, Jennifer Trigg of St. Charles, Mo., and Miranda Vaccaro of Winfield, Mo.; and one brother, Ronald of Raymondville, Mo.

Denny was incredibly intelligent and talented. He was an indispensable engineer for his employer for 29 years. He could repair any motor vehicle set in front of him. He rebuilt many over his nearly 72 years with us. His pride and joy was a 1966 Ford Mustang, currently stored in his garage. He was able to do anything. While living in O'Fallon, Mo., he was always available to help neighbors. He was a plumber, electrician, roofer, carpenter and landscaper. He was a successful investor and able to retire at a very early age. He enjoyed taking motorcycle road trips with his family. At heart, he was a farm boy and was able to enjoy the last few years of his life living on a small acreage in Summersville, Mo. His first year in Summersville, he proudly bought himself a tractor for Christmas. Many enjoyed his exuberant laugh and affectionate nicknames. He will be greatly missed by all whose lives he touched.

Per his request, there will be no visitation or funeral service. Cremation rites are entrusted to Robertson-Drago Funeral Home in West Plains, Mo. Online condolences may be expressed at www.robertsondrago.com.
