I (Mark) can still remember the first day I met Deni. She came in for an interview at my Santa Ana office. It was me, Crystal, and a bunch of young kids all in our early twenties who had just decided to open our own business. I remember how we thought it was funny to play games and pretend we were writing things down during the interview. Deni picked up on it immediately! She looked at my writing and grammar and said that if that was my work, I definitely needed her assistance.

Seventeen years later, Deni had become so much more than an employee. She was more than a confidant, more than a friend. She was family and one of my oldest and dearest friends. Deni was fierce like a bulldog when she needed to be, but loyal as can be to those she cared about. Not only did she help me build my business from the ground up, but she also helped me navigate life and make it through some of the toughest times, always sticking by my side with unwavering dedication.

Her fierce loyalty and protective spirit made her an irreplaceable part of our Big Guy Big World family. Deni's strength, wisdom, and devotion touched everyone who knew her. I will love her forever and never forget everything she did for me and all of us. Rest easy, my dear friend Deni. Your legacy lives on in everything we've built together.
