He was a kind, gentle, warm-hearted sweet but a little smart ass at times. Dean was all about his family and would do anything for anyone. He lived each day to the fullest. As most of you know he loved Pepsi, watching NASCAR, OU Football, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Dean also collected guns and knives, even though he did not hunt. We could not have asked for a better dad, papa, brother, husband, and friends. He impacted us all in a way that will live in our hearts forever. We are blessed to know him, love him, be loved by him, and we will miss him daily. Rest in Peace.
