(Cohee) Laxton on Flag Day, June 14, 1941. He was a graduate of Lafayette's Jefferson High School where he was involved in class government and was a member of the tennis team. He later attended Purdue University and was a member of the US Army serving in Turkey. He was a highly successful entrepreneur and land developer on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. One of his developments was named in honor of his maternal grandfather, Valentine F. Cohee. In addition he was involved in commercial fishing and was a keen stock investor, a legacy of his mother. Denny loved the outdoors and was an avid fisherman and hunter. Having grown up on the banks of the Wabash River, he developed this love early on with his father. When he retired in Phoenix, AZ, his tennis background rekindled in the game of pickle ball. He became an avid player and competitor. Most of his immediate family predeceased him except for a niece Shelly Stockton of Lafayette, IN. He leaves behind Ruth Elkins who loved and cared for him for the last several years, especially the last couple years as he battled cancer. Denny also leaves behind myriad friends in Indiana, Alaska, Washington and his second home in Arizona. He will be missed by all. --Lafayette Journal & Courier - 4/15/2014 © 2016 Legacy.com.
