Sam: Oh Denver Doo, I met Denver 7 years ago and I'm glad I got to acquire a friendship with him. When the lights turn red and we're on a ride you better hope your battery is good because he's gonna kill switch you. Denver was one of the best riders I've rode along side with. From dirt bikes all the way to big boy bikes. On a Friday after work he knew it was time to ride. He would even ride his bike to work so he it with him so he could come right out of work and ride, and he sis it with a smile. When his favorite song hits the radio on a ride you best believe he would be dancing his ass off mid ride down the road with his book bag [Kelsey] LOL. The presence that Denver gave me was one the coolest things you ask in life. Someone that's willing to show up all hours of the night and help you work on broken toys or tow them ect. He was someone that was willing to ride no matter what. NO was never an answer. On the weekends we would have cookouts. Him and Kelsey would would come on by and we would make memories and have laughs that would last a lifetime . And then when it starts getting late, he will pull his favorite lines. I have to watch ruckus , or Kelsey has to go home lol, I’ll never forget him. He always will have a special spot in my heart . I love the fact that Denver along with other friends like Josh were able to enjoy my garage and that he was able to work on his bikes there, and help work on others . I loved when I would come home from work and find Denver and the guys sitting in the garage tools all over the place like they own the joint working on their toys . Last but not least . I really enjoyed seeing the love Denver has for Kelsey , the love that he has for her is rare and you don’t see it often . For example when we ride she comes too . When we have a cookout, she's there too when we have a get together and we’re just chilling in a lot somewhere she’s right there on the back on the bike. Hanging like one of the homies . That’s a really awesome thing . They went everywhere together. That’s all love right there , and it was a beautiful thing watching them grow as a couple . The amount of love that he showed is amazing. I’d like to wrap this up with saying that Denver was one of the realest , most hard riding ,rock head , big hearted, family guy I know . He was full of life and ready to go . I wish he could have spent more time physically with us on this planet but unfortunately god obviously put him some place better . Denver this isn’t a goodbye my friend . Me and the boys got it from here . Rest easy my friend and keep doing your thing up there and keep the sun shining.
Brody: Through my eyes Denver is an extremely fearless individual with as much passion as possible in anything he did. Always someone you could count on when helps needed and easily one of the funniest people around, always had high spirits and spread that to those around him.
Uncle Mark Ruble: Denver was a very loved individual by many. He was the type of person that would do anything for anyone at any time of the day or night. whenever I called him needing help he was right there no matter what plans he had already. I watched him grow from a little baby into a very strong and independent young man. I never knew an individual more determined to get things done for other people. I will definitely miss our rides together and miss not being able to go on the other rides that we had planned. I hope you know how much I love you and miss you I grieve a little different than other people and I hope you understand that. I know I will see you one day and we will ride together again. LOVE UNCLE MOMO ❤️
Chandler: Denver was and is one of my best friends. he was so excited when i let him drive my grey mustang. i usually don’t let anyone drive my cars but i trust him. when i told him he could drive my car at the track he started jumping up and down saying “really i can drive it” with the biggest smile on his facing walking to my car giggling. denver always came up with ideas of what to do. one night we didn’t know what to do and he said “let’s go to the park and play tag” and we did. we were like little kids again laughing and chasing each other around. denver was the goofiest guy i know and no one could ever be in a bad mood around him because he knew just what to say to get us laughing. he was always there for me with whatever i needed and i knew i could count on him. he was always one call away and he’d be there because that was the type of guy he was.
Taylor: I only knew Denver for a little under a year but in those couple months of knowing him I got to see how energetic, caring and funny he was. Always the life of the party with a smile on his face and cracking jokes. He was the type of friend that if you needed him he was there as soon as he could be. And seeing the love he has and will always have for Kelsey really warmed my heart every time.
Aunt Penny: Denver Mullins. Ever since Denver was very young he had a smile on his face and a passion for riding anything with wheels. It didn't matter if it was a bike, a 4 wheeler or a motorcycle. It all made him very happy and content. He was very caring and very funny, and always helpful. Denver was always there for his mom and his other family. In fact he would help pretty much anyone that needed help. All you had to do was call and if he could he would be right there. He was surely a great person that will be greatly missed, but the world is a better place because of him. I will miss him dearly.
Austin: Denver Mullins the little brother. I never thought I would have, my Little buddy on every adventure growing up. 4 wheeling, biking, anything that had wheels we would do, even if it cost us getting in trouble. Than he got older and the wheels got bigger and became our problem to fix not our fathers, me and Denver would fix them and I would teach him how to fix them and what to do whether it be chain alignment of timing chains that boy wouldn’t hesitate to grab the phone and call me for questions, even when he didn’t have to tools to do it. The multiple tows on new toys or broken down toys lol. They say a brotherly bond is not built on blood relation but the actions one holds as the the man you can call at anytime, any place, anywhere and lend a hand. That is a brother bond not a friendship.
Gabriel: Denver in my eyes was a homie G and a brother he was always joking around with me . Denver had a great personality . I also looked up to him . When I was mad or sad he would always cheer me up and the next minute I had a smile on my face . Denver was a great best freind he was just like brother to me.
Aaron the bus driver: He is a strong young man who believes in helping the young and looking out for the Old. Someone when you met him, you never forgot him.
Katy/Collette: Denver was and still is the best cousin I ever had. In my eyes he was always the little boy who kept the magic alive and then I blinked and he became a young man. A young man who jumped anytime I needed help moving. He was always coming to my rescue. Whether it was helping me move or fixing my car that not even the specialist could figure out. He loved hard and lived life even harder. We miss him so much and still talk about him everyday. Lettie loves to look at his pictures on the wall and point him out in every one of them.
Angie: Denver is that little orange headed boy running through the dance room copying us seniors to joining us on stage. The little boy I spent a Saturday jumping from store to store for a pacifier because he would only use one specific one. The first person that I got to watch grow through every part of life, from the day his mother had him, which I remember vividly, through elementary and high school to the beginning of his adult years. The one that I knew could always make me laugh when I needed it the most whether I wanted to or not. Who would always be there when I broke my car because I don’t take care of it correctly. The one who I believed was invincible (other then strep throat of course). To me he wasn’t just the dance teachers son, or another young man. Denver is the type of man I hope my son grows up to be like. The type I hope my daughter falls in love with. Denver is the right in this world. He is an extraordinary soul who is missed beyond belief.
Jake: To me, my younger cousin Denver was a wild spark—funny, sometimes wildly inappropriate, but never, ever boring. He had a huge heart, loyal to his friends, family, and girlfriend, and he never missed a chance to help someone, no matter what. He was taken way too soon, and the world feels a little less bright without him.
Macey: I met Denver through my boyfriend Chandler. I remember the first night i met him was at a bonfire with our other friends. We were all sitting around the fire talking about cars and that’s the first time his golden personality showed. he was making the noise of the cars he was talking about and there wasn’t anyone who wasn’t smiling from his goofiness. he has such a bright personality. anytime we all hung out together he never failed to make us laugh. he brought the light and smiles anywhere we went. he kept our friend group happy with his personality and contagious laugh. the last time i saw denver was the watersedge car show, he invited me and chandler out with him and kelsey. he always planned stuff for our group to go do. i just remember him making us laugh the entire time laughing at a certain couple and seeing him so excited to get his trophy for his bike. Denver always brought the light wherever he went. he’s an amazing person.
Allison: Who is Denver through my eyes? Denver is one of a kind. You know that saying that says “they will give you the shirt off their back”. He will literally give you the shirt off his back, socks and shoes off his feet. He might even give you his underwear and and make sure you’re fully dressed while he walks around with nothing. I’ve watched Denver grow into a gentle giant since he was about 6 (i say giant cause I’m older but he’s taller lol) I’ve witnessed every stage of Denver! The small dirt bikes, the annoying little brother that wouldn’t leave you alone when you had your friends over, the professional race track days, the mountain bikes, the BMX bikes, (that for some reason he always had a flat tire in!) the scooter oh gosh the iridescent scooter! “Alley look watch what i can do as he does some spiny trick while jumping in the air (something i would have never been able to do)! Next stage is the cars! First it was his black bronco that he restored back to blue next was his red jeep, then his truck , then to his cars (idk the names of them)i found joy in Denver saying “hey alley come look at my new car” or us sitting up at dance and him showing me the ones he is interested in! (Some may think that he couldn’t make up his mind but to me he was finding himself! Plus he’s a boy what do you expect also reminded me of my brother cause he did the same damn thing) moral of my story is Denver was a go getter and worked so extremely hard for what he wanted! Denver was extremely close to my brother! Wanted to become a diesel mechanic just like him, to say the least followed his foot steps and went to school for it! Anytime there was an issue Denver called Austin and all i hear is “yeah bud i gotchu bud” i didn’t look at Denver as my dance teachers son, Denver is my little brother blood doesn’t make you family! Next stage or Denver was his motorcycles! Man oh man idk how he balanced on those things but he did and he did it with style! The first time he showed his bike it brought be a flash back of the little Denver on his little dirt bike, now to a grown man on a motorcycle! Still continuing to show the hard working dedicated man striving to get what he wants! The unfortunate final stage that i witnessed and wish that could continue was his settle down stage! Maybe a month before his accident i remember sitting at dance with my son an i said “this boy is driving me crazy” as my son is running around! Denver looks at me and says “i can’t wait to have a baby, i actually want a baby right now, but i want to do it the right way and marry Kelsey first” i looked at him and said “are you sure? You get to have one of these little things driving you crazy” he said, “yeah i can’t wait, i want wake up in my moms house with my wife and kid i don’t want to wait until im to old so i think now is a great time”. From that moment i realized that Denver has officially “grown up” he is not the little 6 year old boy he had his fun and has found someone that he wants to spend the rest of his life with! and it made my heart happy!
Denver had the rare gift of lighting up every room with laughter and warmth. He was not only incredibly funny—with a wit that could brighten the darkest day—but also deeply intelligent, always ready with wise words and thoughtful insight. What set Denver apart most of all, though, was his boundless kindness and compassion. He had a heart as big as the world and gave so much of themselves to others without expecting anything in return.
Whether it was through a well-timed joke, a listening ear, or a generous act of love, Denver made everyone around them feel seen, valued, and loved. Their presence was a blessing, and their absence leaves a space that can never be filled—but his spirit, their laughter, and their love will live on in all of us.
Love you always bud

Ryan: Denver was a true loving caring best friend. He would really put his effort towards his friendships. He would always help at community events.
Kaci:I was asked to write a couple sentences to tell people about who Denver was. It’s taken me two weeks to at least attempt to write anything and even as i sit now and write this i don’t even know where to begin. From as far back as i can remember Denver has been my best friend. I was 5 years old when he was born and i was so happy i wasn’t the youngest in the family anymore. I was someone’s big cousin now not just the youngest out of 2 sisters and a cousin. I always had more fun playing with him anyways. We were the two goofballs of the family making fun wherever we were. A moment i think about a lot is when Denver was around 2 or 3 and we were laying on the floor watching tv and he just laid his head on my stomach and went to sleep and i refused to move because i didn’t want to wake him. I think then is when i knew he was gonna be my best friend. When we were like 15 and 10 we would go out for donations for a bull roast and Denver and i would get dropped off at Walmart to wait while his mom and our grandmother went to take care of other things. The only thing aunt Keri would say is don’t get thrown out bc if you do you’ll wait outside by yourself until I’m finished shopping. The next time she saw us we were riding bikes in the isles, or had beanbags set up in the book isle looking at magazines, or we had separated and were playing Marco Polo in the middle of Walmart trying to find each other. Anywhere Denver went was a good time. He knew how to just find pure genuine fun in whatever you were doing. When Denver got his learners permit and needed someone to drive with him he would call me. He knew i would do anything with him. But Denver would do anything for his people too. We ended up all the way out Bowie Maryland one day and his jeep he had at the time breaks down and we ended up stuck at a royal farms for hours. He had little to no tools with him and no parts to fix what needed to be fixed so he hopped on google maps found the nearest auto parts store grabbed his push scooter from the trunk and made the 2 mile ride to the store and back to fix his car and get us home. If my car needed anything done to it Denver would be the first one to offer to look at it and fix it for me. Denver was selfless. He did things out of the goodness of his heart and never expected anything in return. Denver was and will always be remembered as a kind, good hearted, loving man who protected who and what he cares about.
Kelsey McGainey:Who was Denver you may ask ? Denver was one of a kind. Denver was spontaneous,caring, loving, he had the best personality and great sense of humor he could make anyone laugh. His smile and laugh were contagious. Denver was always there for you no matter what time of day or night you could call him and he would be there. He is a great leader and role model. My son Gabe has looked up to Denver as an older brother since he was born. They were always here for each other and inseparable. Denver was always there to encourage and support Gabe in dance since you know boys don’t dance but Denver was there to support Gabe at ever recital and ever competition too cheer him on from the side of the stage. He brought out the best in gabe. Denver would bring out the best in people he brought out the best in his girlfriend Kelsey a.k.a. Shermanator Kelsey was a quiet girl when we first met her ,she barely spoke to anyone barely did anything and he pulled her out of her shell. She is an outgoing girl, funny, great head on her shoulders and his little backpack. There love for each other was one you would only see in a movie, but it was real they loved each other so much. Not only did this family lose a son, a brother, a nephew,a cousin, a grandson, boyfriends, love , a friend, a role model. But the world has lost an amazing young man but we will Never let his name disappear we will always keep his name going on and on forever. Denver will always remain in my heart forever.

Savanna (Boo): You lived life full throttle, chasing every moment of freedom with wheels beneath you and joy in your heart. It was like the world couldn’t keep up with you. You never hesitated to help someone in need. You always had this way of showing up for everyone no matter what, always putting others before yourself. Your smile could brighten the darkest day, and your laugh, god your laugh could make anyone forget their worries. It still echoes in our hearts. We miss you more than words can say, but we carry your spirit with us every single day. You were more than my little brother, you are my inspiration! Your passion, kindness, and light will ride with us forever. 🧡
Love always,
Boo, Kyle and Eleanor
