Dear Rose and family, so sorry to hear about your son. May he rest in Eternal Peace.I will keep you in my prayers.

My sympathy & prayers to Deano's family. It's been a long time from HS & Jr high.

Deano and I lost touch over the years but I will truley miss him.  We ran together in the late 70's cruising Douglas in his bright red dooley!!  Rest in Peace my friend.

Dear Family and friends; I also went to East with Deano, we hung out alot and had a great time. Deano was one of my best friends and was a great person, Deano was the type to give you the shirt off his back if you needed it even if he did not have anotherone for himself, I have so many great thoughts and past times with Deano to many to list here but he always made me smile. My Deepest Sympathies to his family and friends. God Bless and watch over you my friend and your family. Until we meet again in Heaven (Won't say bye just) Latter Deano Love ya like a brother and even though it hurts like heck and I miss you I know your in a much better place. Your friend John Click.

Our deepest sympathy to Deano's family , truly a great friend ,a friend that will be misse dearly
Rest In Peace My Friend..

I wish I had kept in touch with Deano over the years since high school.  He always had an optimistic look on life, and cheered me up on several occasions.  His jokes and stories were legendary and priceless, as he will always be to me.  Take care and God Bless You Deano!

Worked with Deno at Big Dog. Really enjoyed working with him. Going to miss you buddy. Rest in Peace.

Deano used to build transmissions for me at Big Dog, and could do it in his sleep....that when we found out about his diabetes.  Everytime I hear the song "Viva Las Vegas" by Elvis I think of Deano going on vacation.  Now I'll just remember Deano!
Rest in peace my friend!

My deepest sympathies to Deano and his family.  Julia Garcia irwin

I went to high school with Deano and we spent summer nights "drag'n Douglas" together in his red one-ton dually pickup.  Deano was so full of life,  loved practical jokes, and a great biker brother.  He loved all people regardless of their social economic background, the color of their skin, or the length of their hair.  Most importantly, Deano was a good man and he will be missed by those who had the opportunity to know him.

Deano was one of the friendliest guys in all my days at East High.  He always had a positive air about him and he always said "hi" every time you passed him in the halls.  If only we all could leave behind such positive memories.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

To Deano's family, I went to high school with Deano and he was always so nice to me, that I've never forgotten him.  I can still picture him walking the halls in his coveralls, so it doesn't surprise me to read he was a mechanic.  He definitely knew his way around cars, even back then.  So terribly sorry to hear of his passing; he was a good guy.  My sincerest condolences to his family, especially his mother and his son.
