Yesterday the offroading community lost a true leader when Roy Denner, founder of the Off Road Business Association passed away after a 2 year battle with cancer.
Roy was key in helping the offroad industry with legal battles. He, along with his efforts, will be missed greatly. Our thoughts go out to Nancy and their close friends.

Monday, September 28, 2009We are saddened to report the loss of a dynamic, passionate crusader for off road rights. Roy Denner, founder of the Off Road Business Association passed away today, September 28, 2009 after a 23 month battle with pancreatic cancer.
Roy slipped away quietly in his home in the presence of his wife of 52 years. Nancy writes "he took his last breath while I was giving him a goodbye kiss. He had a very peaceful, pain free passing. His long battle is finally over and he is at peace. I am surrounded by close friends and family."
Roy devoted the last 15+ years of his life fighting legal battles on behalf of off road enthusiasts. He invested so many thousands of hours into this endeavor that in his final years he scarcely had time to participate in the sport himself.
Roy will be missed by many and we are all deeply indebted to the Denner family.
Sincerely, Steve & Sherri Kukla
