Obituary for Denver Lee “Fuzzy” Marcum

DENVER LEE “FUZZY” MARCUM

Denver Lee “Fuzzy” Marcum, 70, of Laurel, went home to be with the Lord on March 29, 2021, following a lengthy illness.

The son of Frank and Geraldine Galloway Marcum, Denver was born on April 9, 1950, in Rushville. Denver married his sweetheart, the former Bonnie Hunter, on November 30, 1974, in Metamora. They resided in Laurel.

Denver opened his barber shop after completing barber school. In his years of running the barber shop, Denver met and had an impact on so many lives. Before he became ill, Denver was honored to give his first grandson his first haircut.

Denver was also employed at Fayette County First Aid Unit for more than 30 years. He was able to help so many people while on the unit. Denver retired from the First Aid Unit on April 30, 2013.

Anyone familiar with Denver knew they were in for a laugh. He was the first person to give you the shirt off his back. In his free time, Denver loved to ride his motorcycle, spending time with his Bonnie Beth just taking country cruises, going to dinner, and drinking their morning coffee together.

Denver loved to sit out front in the summer drinking his tea and watching his grandbabies play outside. Denver was an amazing father, husband, and papaw. Papaw Denver was always up for playing cowboys with Kolten and having morning toast with his angel, Cora.

Denver is survived by his wife of 47 years, Bonnie Marcum; two sons, Vincent Pacer Marcum and Colt (Krista) Marcum, all of Laurel; two grandchildren who were his world, Kolten and Cora Marcum; and a brother, Frank Marcum, Jr.

Besides his parents, Denver was preceded in death by his grandma, Blanche Brown.

Denver will be greatly missed by all. He left such an impact on everyone’s lives.

Your work on this Earth is done. Rest high on that mountain.

Family and friends may call from 11 a.m. until the time of service at 1 p.m., on Friday, April 2, 2021, at Miller, Moster, Robbins Funeral Home. Reverend Rob Edwards will officiate. Burial will follow in Laurel North Cemetery.
