It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Deveart Marvin Denning, who left us peacefully on April 7, 2026, at the age of 65. Born on February 17, 1961, in Alice, Texas, Deveart lived a life filled with hard work, deep connections, and a genuine love for those around him.
Deveart was a self-employed electrician and the proud owner of DMLCD, LLC, which he founded in 2011. Through his work, he developed lasting friendships with local ranchers, quickly earning a reputation as a dependable jack-of-all-trades. With a quick mind and a knack for fixing things—earning him the endearing nickname “MacGyver”—Deveart was known for tackling any challenge that came his way. His straightforward, honest nature made him a cherished friend, reliable colleague, and an all-around good man.
Family and friends were at the heart of Deveart’s life. He was a man with a servant’s heart, always ready to lend a hand and showcase his care through acts of kindness. While he preferred a quiet life, away from the spotlight, he found great joy in fishing and hunting, sharing those moments with loved ones whenever he could.
He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Leslie Denning; his brother Tommy Denning and wife Vickie; his sisters LaJuan Fischer and husband Bennie, and Evyonne Willesden; and several beloved nephews and nieces.
He is preceded in death by his parents Marvin and Maxine Denning; infant brother Doyle Denning; nephew Doyle Wofford; and brother-in-law Joseph “Willy” Willesden.
All services will be held on April 13, 2026, with visitation at 9:00 AM, followed by funeral services at 11:00 AM at the Brush Country Cowboy Church in George West, TX. under the direction of Hurley Funeral Home-Pleasanton.
In honoring his memory, let’s remember Deveart for the incredible man he was—down-to-earth, reliable, and always putting others first. He will be deeply missed.
