Steve was born on May 12, 1969 in Fort Valley, Ga to B.E. “Benny” Dennard, Jr.(Jeanne) of Clayton, GA and Donna (Ratliff) Coy (Larry) of Centerville, GA. He was the General Manager at GHC Mechanical. Steve was a hard working man and did all he could to provide for his family. He loved the country life, working his garden and just surrounding himself with family and friends. Steve never met a stranger. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, B.E. “Chief”Dennard, Sr. (Ruth), Annette Langston, C.W. and Ruby Ratliff and his aunt, Bebe Dennard. The one thing that Steve would want is for everyone to continue to “Keep America Great” by voting for Trump and Brian Kemp in the next election.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Angela (Williamson) Dennard of Knoxville, GA; son: James Ratliff “J.R.” Dennard of Perry, GA; step-daughter: Mallorie Fountain; brothers: John David Hudson (Alice) of Roberta, GA, Cameron Dennard of Greer, SC and Dan Hudson of Roberta, GA; sister: Maria Loibl of Griffin, GA; uncles: Mike Ratliff (Jennifer) of Perry, GA, Harry Dennard (Mickey) of Warner Robins, GA and David Dennard of Perry, GA; special uncle: Keith Lockerman (Pam); special dad: Kendall Hudson (Pam) of Roberta, GA; and a host of extended family and friends.
