It’s still hard to believe Dean is gone.  He was such a nice person, easy to talk to.  I didn’t know him a long time but Dean always had a smile on his face.  Happy Birthday my friend!  

Nhung and Thanh,

Carl and I cannot express to you how much our hearts ache for your loss.  You raised a beautiful son and we wish to thank you for the chance for him to have been a part of our lives. I know that Asia especially loved Dean and they shared a special bond and for that we are thankful. Dean was and will always be considered a part of our family.  We sincerely loved him and enjoyed spending time with him.  When he would come around it was always a bright moment in our family. The ease in which he would feel at home with us was such a special thing. Dean was an intelligent, caring, sweet soul who touched our lives with his bright smile and fun loving spirit.  We will miss him terribly, but he is and always will be held in our hearts as the great person he was.  We wish you love and peace.





I went with him to get his dog and he wAs so happy he got her ! I miss you buddy 

       Dean and I were born just a few months apart to the day. People often mistook us for twins and I always thought that was the world’s greatest compliment. Dean was the kindest soul. He was compassionate, vibrant, selfless, brilliant, hilarious, brave, sincere, easy to love, a positive light, and always the life of the party. Dean was someone who could be friends with anyone. His extended family (on my mother's side) always loved Dean's company. He came over for dinners, celebrated holidays with us, and loved participating in all of our shenanigans. 
       A fond memory I have with Dean is when he drove down to Boca Raton, FL with my family for my high school graduation in 2012. He was always so supportive of me and my endeavors. I remember him being adamant about not wanting to miss my "big day". Around this time we started referring to each other as "brother" and "sister", instead of cousins. We developed a strong bond as teenagers and kept in touch often throughout the years. 
        The pain we feel from Dean's passing is unbearable, but the impact he had on our lives is unforgettable. Even though you are not physically here with us, you will continue to live on in our hearts and minds. I will always miss and love you, Dean. 

To Dean's family - while visiting my son, Thomas, in Chattanooga last February, I got to meet Dean. What a  lovely young man! You have much to be proud of and I cannot express enough my sincerest condolences for your loss.
