Denver Francis Black was born September 25, 1951 at Rugby, the son of Frank and Eleanor (Hauck) Black. He was united in marriage to Deb Kovar on May 19, 1973 at Flasher.
He lived a full life of love with friends and family. Denver, as an over-the-road truck driver loved to travel the states and always had a bigger picture for life.
Denver is survived by his children, Devin (Jeremiah) Johnson, Laurel, Mont., Dezariah Black, Ballentine, Mont., and Dominique Kovar, Bozeman, Mont.; two daughters-in-law, Lisa Black, Belgrade, Mont., and Monica Black, Plains, Mont.; 12 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; his mother, Eleanor Parkos, Plains; two brothers, Sebastian (Linda) Black, Plains, and Peter Black, Texas; his special friend, Shirlene Berger, Dickinson; and many other family members and friends.
Denver will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. Although we are left with tears and sadness, our hearts will cry a little less knowing he is happy and with his two oldest sons once again. His memory will be carried on in our hearts for years to come. We love and miss you Dad, rest and be happy. Give the boys an extra hug from all of us.
In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer memorials in Denver’s name to the Western Security Bank, Laurel, Mont.
