What Dean was like

Dean was a kind, generous empathetic, creative, very talented, hilarious young man. He was extremely intelligent, always teaching you something you never knew you needed to know. He also had depression, anxiety and addiction to help him cope.

Fondest memories of Dean

Just him laughing and his eyes sparkling and being just so damn funny & happy.

How Dean will be missed

Talking and laughing and enjoying each other’s company. He was not only my firstborn & only son- but also my very best friend. He was so very unique and intelligent and painfully funny. It was a joy from the time I was pregnant with him, raising him through the years and spending time together once he was grown.

How Dean will be remembered

That he loved God and his family and music and the Eagles and his cat Jinxy so very much. That he really tried to kick his addictions and fight his demons and work on his health and himself. That he really wanted to live and have the life that he deserved. That he never wanted to leave.
