I grew up with Denny in Toboso. I remember when Denny lived below the hill and then moved above the hill because of the Dillon Dam. The kids in Toboso had great times together (bike rides, hikes, ball games, etc.). I attended Sunday School with Denny at The Toboso Methodist Church. Walt and Letha, the prayers of my family are with you.
Denny was my oldest friend. We went through 12 years of school together and while we attended separate colleges we made a point of seeing each other often. I will never forget the day Letha called my home to say that Denny was in Riverside Hospital after his auto accident and I rushed to see him. We stayed in touch for sixty years. He loved his family and friends and was one of the kindest souls I have ever known.

Denny I so miss you everyday! Wishing I could talk to you right this minute! Forever in my heart and my memories!! Love and miss you so much....Sis!
Denny was on my basketball team at LV Jr high in 1958 -1959. he was a quick small guard. We had an undefeated season that year. I had a nice talk with him at a local fast food place about a month ago. We had some good laughs about the old days. I will miss his wisdom.
Denny was one of a kind. So much fun and so caring of his family and others. He constantly kept us smiling. Uncle Walt and Aunt Letha certainly raised a smart, thoughtful and caring young man who brought so much joy to his family and the lives of so many more. RIP cousin. You will be truly missed. I know you are now in a better place and rejoicing in heaven with grandpa and grammy Miller, Uncle Jeffy, daddy (Bob) and so many other loved ones who have also moved on. Much love always. ~Teri~
My sympathy to the family. My mother was a Brookover so I'm sure we're related some kind of way!
I worked with Denny at LICCO, a long time ago. He was a very nice and caring man. Our family will keep his children and parents in our prayers. God Bless each of you.
I am firm in my belief that a teacher lives on and on through his students. Good teaching is forever and the teacher is immortal ~ Jesse Stuart
Thanks to those students whom shared their memories of Mr. Brookover, their teacher who obviously made a positive impact in their educational experience.
So many heartfelt words remembering Denny's kind spirit and his humanity.
An example for us all.
Sincere sympathy to his parents and friends.
Mr.Brookover was one of the few teachers who taught. Sorry about his passing, he will be missed.
