Ron Keys Relation to Deceased: Uncle / Brother I grew up with Dean and always thought of him as a brother more than a uncle. Some of my best childhood memories were when we would go visit either in the summer or for Christmas. I’m going to miss him terribly but I know I will see him again one day.
Regina Maxwell Relation to Deceased: Stepmother Dean was a special son to me. He was a son bychoice not by birth. He cared deeply, always had a kind word, and would do anything for you all you had to do was ask. I will miss his smile the most and his loving phone calls. He is at rest in a far better place and I would not wish him back for he is now whole. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.

Mark Hilts Relation to Deceased: friend/co-worker Dean was a very nice and special person. He was kind and very considerate, always ready to lend a helping hand.

Deba Johnson Relation to Deceased: Friend Dean was a kind soul and was such a nice guy. Enjoyed playing pool with him and going on the camping trips with he and Lanny. Rest in Peace dear friend.
Darin R Maxwell Relation to Deceased: Brother Dean was my big brother. I am blessed to have had him as a part of my life for the past 43 years. He has always been a protector, leader, and peacemaker. I think back to a time as a young man that I had gotten into it with my father. I called him a less than respectful name and fled on foot as fast as they would carry me. I ended up at catfish creek wondering what I would do next. Some time later it was Dean who found me. He took the time to talk to me and reassure me that things would be ok. And of course he smoothed it all over between my Dad and I. Thats the kind of brother he was. Chances are, there are several of you out there whose hardships or challenges have been blunted by Dean stepping into the path of some adversity not of his own making. I was fortunate to be at Deans bedside, along with his life partner Lanny, and wonderful friend Stacie, during his last few hours with us. It was a time of sharing the enormity Dean had had on each of our lives while getting to know each other on a profoundly deeper level. Through the night we talked, interspersed with periods of quiet reflection. All the while holding Deans hands, kissing and caressing him softly and trying to comfort him as best we could. It was a time that will forever be emblazoned in my memory. As I laid my head down on my brothers chest and could no longer feel the gentle beat of his heart, I knew he had started the journey. The Journey to an eternal life in heaven. I think it would have been the way he would have wanted it. Surrounded by a representative of the three things that mattered most to Dean; his life partner,family, and cherished friends. On October 29th Dean left this world to be with the Lord, having touched so many lives and eased so many hardships. Dean, you are loved dearly and will be missed so very much. I love you big brother. I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one, I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun. Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
Chris Franke Relation to Deceased: A Friend In Youth, Dean was the friendliest of Souls. I remember spending countless days making hay mazes in the barn, picking apples, biking to, and swimming in the lake, and playing hours of tag. As we grew older, I will always remember Dean’s adventuresome spirit, and many late night runs to Niagara Falls. We lost touch after our teens, but I would often hear of Dean’s adventures through a bond our Mother’s shared. The world is a darker place without Dean, but I know he is a shining light in Heaven, and undoubtedly leading the Angels on new adventures. Until we meet again, God Speed. From Pippin, but it will always remind me of Dean EVERYTHING HAS ITS SEASON EVERYTHING HAS ITS TIME SHOW ME A REASON AND I’LL SOON SHOW YOU A RHYME CATS FIT ON THE WINDOWSILL CHILDREN FIT IN THE SNOW WHY DO I FEEL I DON’T FIT IN ANYWHERE I GO?

Carl and Ann Haug We knew Dean as a child, our children all being around the same age. We remember him as always smiling and full of energy. Our prayers and love are with all of the family.

Bryan Maxwell Relation to Deceased: Little brother All through my life Dean always looked out for and protected me. I remember how Dean, brother Darin, and I used to play tag in our family’s basement. Dean would tell me to climb up on the family’s roll-away bed, and fold it up with me all scrunched up inside, and close it shut with the latch on top. It was then my job to figure out how to get out of the thing, and go find him and Darin. One other time Dean suggested I climb into the dryer, and he would turn it on, I thought it was a great idea! We only tried it for a second or two, because Dean Did not want me to get hurt. Oh what fun we had! Later in life Dean became my chief protector, and even bailed me out of a few scrapes. He was always so kind and loving…and though all Dean’s family and friends cry and grieve for our loss, I know God has already wiped away any and all of Dean’s tears forever. Dean, I love you and miss you, and hated to see you go, but thanks a million for always being there for me and everyone else.

Arthur Maxwell Relation to Deceased: Father Dean was the eldest of our three sons. When he was born, he brought so much JOY into our home. He always had a smile for everyone and a positive outlook. The Joy has lasted for 46 years. He will be greatly missed, but I belive he is in a far better place with no more suffering. The passage in the Bible that we can cling to is the 30th Psalm. Safely Home I am home in Heaven dear ones: Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last. Then you must not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still; try to look beyond earth shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s will There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand: do it now, while life remaineth you shall rest in Jesus’ land When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; oh the rapture of that meeting, oh the joy to see you come!
