John Denver was born Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. on December 31, 1943, in Roswell, New Mexico. His father, Henry John Deutschendorf Sr., was a U.S. Air Force pilot and his mother, Erma Louise (née Swope), was a homemaker. Denver had three younger sisters: Pamela, Sharon and Heidi. All four of the Deutschendorf children were raised in their father’s Catholic faith.

Denver’s music career began with folk music groups during the late 1960s. He became one of the most popular acoustic artists of the decade and one of its best-selling artists. By the end of the 1970s, he was firmly established as America’s leading singer-songwriter.

Denver’s greatest commercial success came with his 1977 album I Want to Live, which reached number one on both the Billboard 200 chart and the Country Music chart. The album’s title track became one of his best-known songs.

Denver continued to record and release new music throughout the 1980s and 1990s, though his popularity began to wane in the latter part of that decade. He died in a plane crash on October 12, 1997, at the age of 53.

At the time of his death, Denver was survived by his wife, Annie, and their two children, Zachary and Anna Kate. He also had two children from his first marriage, to Cassandra Delaney: Jesse Belle and Samuel. Denver’s net worth was estimated to be $60 million at the time of his death.

Quotes

#Quote
1[on composing for The Bears and I (1974)] Heck, I'm no Henry Mancini or Michel Legrand. I just play the guitar and write songs. I know I'm incapable of orchestrating an entire film. They just asked me to write something expressing the story about a guy who's back from Vietnam and sorta lost, who goes to an Indian village in the Northwest.

Facts

#Fact
1He was posthumously awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 7065 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on October 24, 2014.
2Was offered the lead role of Zack Mayo in An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), which he turned down saying he felt the script "read like a 1950s movie". The role was instead given to Richard Gere.
3John's father was of German descent (including ancestry from ethnic Germans who had lived in South Russia for many generations). John's maternal grandfather was of German and Swiss-German ancestry, and John's maternal grandmother was of English and Irish descent.
4NTSB accident report states the cause of the airplane crash that killed him was his attention being diverted to the fuel selector, when shortly after takeoff, his engine stalled due to fuel starvation. The fuel selector, in his newly purchased homebuilt, was located behind the pilot such that to change it he needed to turn left and reach behind his head. That caused him to move the control stick inadvertently to the left and down. That was a factor that led to the accident.
5The Federal Aviation Administration's crash report was inconclusive regarding what caused Denver's crash. It is widely known that Denver had twice been arrested for DUI in prior years, leading to questions as to whether his pilot's license should have been revoked.
6Plane crash was about 100 yards offshore from a very popular landmark known as "Lover's Point".
7Inducted into the American Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1996.
8His final concert was in Corpus Christi, Texas, a week prior to his tragic accident.
9Met wife Annie Martell while performing a gig at Gustavus Adolphus College, in St. Peter, Minnesota, where she was a student.
10Mentioned in the song "Life Is a Rock But the Radio Rolled Me" by Reunion.
11Briefly attended the School of Architecture at Texas Tech.
12Lost two toes in an accident with a lawn mower.
13Biography in: "American National Biography." Supplement 1, pp. 155-156. New York: Oxford University Press, 2002.
14Was cremated, and his ashes spread over the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
15He was any early follower of Werner Erhard, founder of the self-improvement association known as EST (Erhard Seminars Training). Denver once asked Erhard if he might become a trainer in the EST organization but was told he could contribute more by continuing his career as an entertainer - spreading the message, through his music, of taking personal responsibility for whatever happens in the world. Several of his subsequent songs reflected that philosophy.
16Uncle of the twin babies who played "Oscar" in the film Ghostbusters II (1989), William T. Deutschendorf and Henry J. Deutschendorf II. One would assume Henry was named after him. Though John Denver's father was also named Henry John Deutschendorf and John Denver's paternal-grandfather was John Henry Deutschendorf.
17Children from marriage with Cassandra Delaney; Jesse Belle.
18Children from marriage with Annie Martell; Zachary and Anna Kate (adopted).
19Listed as one of twelve "Promising New Actors of 1977" in John Willis' Screen World, Vol. 29 (1977).
