On April 8, 1996, Montgomery Roy Denver was born to his mother Jane Phillips and her boy friend Alan Denver in New York City. The family of three lived in a small two bedroom apartment above the music store that they owned called “Denver’s Melodies”. His parents taught him to do everything with love. They showed him that love was all he needed to be happy.
Montgomery’s parents had a big musical impact on him as well. The Beatles gave Montgomery his nickname. When he was about four years old, he heard the song “Hey Jude” for the very first time. After hearing it a few times, Jude knew every word and every beat. That’s when the name stuck. Montgomery was now called “Jude”, and he was called it so much that he sometimes forgot his real name.
The family was happy together, it seemed, but it all changed abruptly. When Jude about seven, he returned from school, but no one was home or working in the music store. It was strange because both of his parents worked at home, so someone was usually around when he arrived. Jude began to panic. He went downstairs into the music store to use the phone to call the police. They quickly arrived, taking Jude into their care. After months of searching for the missing couple, no leads were found. They had ruled their disappearance as an abandonment since there was no proof of malicious action against them.
Jude was sent to live in a home with other children that were abandoned by their own parents. He felt lonely. Not even the other kids that considered him as their brother made him feel at home. He wanted things to go back to normal, but it seemed like they wouldn’t. One day while Jude was watching TV, a young couple dressed caught his attention. When the couple noticed Jude, their hearts immediately melted. They decided to adopt Jude and take him back to their home in Boston, MA. Jude was now Montgomery Roy Pennington.
The couple was very different from his birth parents. They disagreed with everything Jude was taught. They even called him by his first name, which he hated a lot. Jude didn’t like his new family or the way they lived. Once Jude was old enough to be on his own, he decided to move as far away from his parents as possible. He could only afford to move to Provincetown, a few hours away from his parents. It wasn’t much, but it was enough for Jude to finally be free the toxic household his parents had brought him in.
