Denys was born on July 21, 1955 in Lamesa, Texas to Frederick and Christine Sanders. Denys was raised in Lamesa until he turned 18, then moved to Plainview, Texas to attend Wayland Baptist University. While in college he met the love of his life, Frances Jolene Brock. They graduated and moved to Bremerton, WA. While on the way, they stopped in The Dalles, Oregon to get hitched on March 22, 1979. After a short time there, they moved back to Texas and found Plainview to have a great view of flat land and came to find plumbing as a good trade to follow. He also had a son who followed him down that same drain. He served his community for 43 years as a master plumber and dedicated his time and effort into his craft. They had many wonderful memories of traveling across a few ponds and was able to enjoy much of God’s wonders and beauty. He was involved in his community by attending Oprah of the Plains, Plainview Community Concerts and Christ in the Arts Ballet, Far East Broadcasting, and building the Plainview Christian Academy campus. He took pride in being able to teach his children to learn to invest for the future. His treasured accomplishments are, first and foremost his family, being a master plumber, and recognized as Marquis Who’s Who 2023. Denys was so loved and will be missed by many friends and family.
