Dean was a truly great friend to everyone he met even if the encounter may have been brief. He was so bright, energetic and bubbly you couldn't help but be drawn to him and smile along with him.
It is more than unfortunate that he was so abruptly taken away from us in December 1998.
We will all miss you terribly "Dizzy" Dean. You will live on in our hearts, minds and thoughts. I know you're looking down on each of us and making sure we can handle all that life throws at us, and smiling on all your true friends.
I only wish that i could have had the chance to say goodbye to you but i was too stubborn to make the first move because of an event that was taken out of context and spoken to you at least one last time. I wish we could have parted in a kinder manner as i know now that it will always be too late to ask your forgiveness for my stupidity and bull-headedness.. i am so sorry for everything Dean, i love you, you were the best friend anyone could've ever asked for and i took you for granted and i so completely regret that.
I know that you're also watching over your little goddaughter lorelei and smiling with all the cute lil things she does, I know she would have loved to have met you too.
You are the best Dean and we all love you and miss you terribly
