Uncle Dean was such a great guy. Anytime I seen him he always talked about his children, my cousins Bret and Aleasha. He was so proud of them and loved them so much. May you both know how much your dad loved you and and even though you may have lost him physically, you both have a beautiful angel above to continue to watch over you and guide you. 💞💞💞
My thoughts and prayers are with all of Dean’s family and friends. I wish I could be there. Be at peace Dean, you will be missed.
Dean has been like a second father to me for years. I remember getting off the bus at dean’s road to go check him out before we all would go home. I saw dean a few days before and he was telling me how proud he was of Brett with his job his face was lite up until we meet again rest easy my friend
