Oh Deanie,
I just found out that you are gone. My heart is aching. You were my adopted twin as we shared the same birthday. You were one of our best friends ever. We will forever miss that funny laugh and always making us laugh. We love you Dean. RIP our friend.

My prayers go out to the family in this time of loss. The bible tells us to "rejoice with people who rejoice; weep with people who weep." (Romans 12:15) I share your grief.

Dean--I had the privilege of getting to know you because of the friendship I have shared with your sister, Donna, the past 20 years. You will be missed Dean! You were a blessing to your father and mother in the loving care you provided. I do count if all joy in knowing you and look forward to seeing you again some day!!!

I will never forget packing up the El Camino with Neil Young and Jackson Browne on cassettes, heading to Arizona! Those were the best of times. My heart goes out to your family.

Dean....it's been a long, long time.....and it makes me sad to think you've gone already....way too young for that. It was fun looking through these old pictures...so many of the school pictures I still have (with the little captions on the back). You were the good looking guy in youth group, but I'm glad for all the ping-pong tournaments, times around the alter, youth group, motor cycle rides...and just hanging out. These are the things I remember most about you....always a gentle spirit and fun to be with you. Sounds like AZ was a good move for you!......Till we meet again!!!

Such a great guy with a heart of gold. Your quick wit and memorable laugh are what I remember most. Been many years since we talked. My heart goes out to Deans family. I hope that Deans memory stays clear and you can remember the many wonderful times you shared with him. RIP Deano.

Dean - When we were little kids, Donna and I could always count on you and my brother Barry to be mischevious and try hard to drive us nuts. And we would try harder to get you two in trouble with our folks. Despite all that, you were a pretty great cousin after all. You've left us now, but we will treasure those memories forever.

Deano, I'm really going to miss you brother, going to AZ every year, going up in the mountains, camping, you taking us on sightseeing trips.
Going to AZ wont ever be the same
Love you
