Denton Lee Oakes,
63, passed away at his home on December 29, 2011.
Denton was born on
May 29, 1948, to his mother Novia Muse Oakes and his
father, Wilbur Oakes in their home in the Naomi community.
He grew up there with his siblings; a sister, Velda (and
Steve) Barlow and brothers, James Oakes (and Lisa Norfleet)
and Rodney (and Christy) Oakes.
He was the husband
of Patricia Ward Oakes for 32 years and they were blessed
with a son, Denton Lee (and Paulette Barger) Oakes II and
a daughter, Emily Faith (and Brandon) Sizemore. He was
also blessed with three grandchildren, Victoria Cummings,
Lillian Cummings, and Clara Ivy-Lee Oakes; and so many
nieces and nephews that he was proud of; and hundreds of
friends.
Denton was a
farmer, district sales manager for the MoorMan’s
Livestock Feed Company, a real estate broker and agency
owner of Mill Springs Realty, and successful business
entrepreneur.
He was a loving
father and family man, who was admired by all of his
family. But most importantly, he was a proud Christian and
of the Baptist faith. He had accepted Jesus Christ to be
his Lord and Savior.
He enjoyed holiday
gatherings with his family, singing karaoke, spending time
with his grandchildren and children, and loyal dog, Honey.
He spent time in conversation with others uplifting their
spirits and inspiring them to be their best and was known
for his outgoing nature.
He will be forever
missed by his family and friends but reunited with us in
Heaven someday.
