Denny Joe Stahly
Denny Joe Stahly, 61, of Marshall, Michigan passed away on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at home, of Stiff Person Syndrome.
He was born on October 1, 1962, to Dewain Stahly and Margaret (Criner) Harvey in Goshen, Indiana.
Denny was a 1982 graduate of Coldwater High School. After high school, he headed to Denver Colorado to Auto Body school. On May 17, 1997, Denny married Susan “Sue” Scott at Family Bible Church in Marshall, Michigan and they moved to Omaha, Nebraska. Denny was a lifelong farmer along with being a Machinist, having worked at various companies in Bronson, Michigan, Indiana and Omaha, Nebraska. At the age of 45, Denny had to take a medical retirement due to Stiff Person Syndrome, but he was very determined to continue working around the house and especially on his own cars and tractor repairs (he had very strong hands and didn’t know his own strength). He attended Family Bible Church in Marshall, Michigan and welcomed the Stephen Ministries into their home. Denny’s passion was bass fishing, as he frequently entered many local bass tournaments. He also enjoyed deer hunting, being outdoors, building, and flying model airplanes and target shooting. Denny along with Susan relaxed by watching outdoor shows on television. Their favorite passion was fishing, going to antique tractor shows, going to air shows and museums, traveling to different Bass Pro Shops and several states.
Denny is survived by his loving spouse of 27 years Susan, his son; David Stahly of Jackson, Michigan; his mother; Margaret Harvey of Sturgis, Michigan, his brother; Donald Romine of Sturgis, Michigan, his twin-Brother; Benny Stahly of Sturgis, Michigan, his sister; Sherry (Mike) Stahly-Whitehorn of Okmulgee, Oklahoma and his half-brother; Thomas (Kim) Romine of Coldwater, Michigan; and his Aunt Ruth and Uncle Carl Stahly of Coldwater, Michigan.
