Rowland Lynn Denison, 50, died in Spanish Fork, Utah on February 10, 2014. The death was ruled an accidental shooting and was not treated as a criminal event, so no arrests were made and no suspects were sought.

Denison worked as a machinist, employed at Teleflex and later Klune Industries, where he handled a temperamental machine he nicknamed the Ma-hoe. He enjoyed camping, fishing and exploring the outdoors. He is described as having a gruff exterior and a loving heart, and is survived by two children and a granddaughter who had recently been born. A formal funeral was not held; a private viewing was held for family and friends in keeping with his wishes.
