Dennis “Denny” Ray Fegett, 67, of Georgetown passed away Wednesday, November 12, 2014 at St. Vincent’s in Indianapolis, IN.
Denny was born September 30, 1947 in Danville to James H. and Kathryn (Miller) Fegett. He attended Danville and Oakwood Schools. Denny married Peggy Pierce in Danville and later married Pat Craycraft on September 29, 1972 in Georgetown.
Denny was a mechanic at Win C. Smith and a service manager at Koehn Motors. Mostly though, Denny was a mechanic in his own garage. He loved to build hot rods and motorcycles. Denny loved the challenge of what he could create next. He did it all, from making custom parts to doing elaborate paint jobs, every detail mattered. Some of his other hobbies included bowling, hunting, mushrooming, being outdoors, and playing Euchre with his cousins. Denny loved his golf cart and taking all the grandkids for rides, telling stories and singing his variations of silly songs. Denny would do anything for anyone and loved lending a helping hand. He was a great neighbor. Everyone anticipated his holiday light displays. Denny was also a ten year heart transplant survivor.
