Denny was born on September 14, 1950 in Dothan, Alabama, to Francis and Elsie Meeker.  He attended Georgia Tech as a co-op scholar where he enjoyed taking photographs for The Blueprint school yearbook and also worked for NASA at Redstone Arsenal.  His expertise in computers was of great value to his employers over the years: Rich’s, Fulton Federal Bank, DCA (Digital Computer Association) of Atlanta, and EDS (Electronic Data Systems).  During the Y2K computer scare, he was flown around the country to fix computer systems. 

Denny co-founded an audiophile-videophile club in Atlanta and enjoyed attending and recording symphony and choral performances.  He loved classical music, good books, and great food. He moved to Clanton, Alabama, and became an active member of First United Methodist Church where he participated in various Bible studies and volunteered in several different children’s programs (AWANA, God’s World, and Vacation Bible School).  He was much beloved by church members of all ages.

Denny is survived by his mother, Elsie Lanier Meeker; his sister Jerri (Gary) Dennis; his brother Kim (Robin) Meeker; nieces and nephew, Christi (David) Mitchell and son, Dennis (who was Denny’s godson), Michael (Kristin) Carroccino and children Caedmon and Mirella, Amy Meeker, and Jennifer (Matthew) Garrett and sons Abrihm and Abel.
