Dean Edward Kessler

Missing you Uncle Dean! I wish I could just have drive down Alberta and drop in on you for a visit.

I spread some of Dean´s ashes under the pine cones with Grandma and Grandpa out in Rupert Idaho at their resting place. I sure miss you Uncle Dean, and think of you often.

I moved to Portland in 1978 after I graduated from college and I met Dean who was working at a Volkswagen mechanics shop way out at 122nd in Northeast Portland and I had a 1972 popped up camper and we got to be friends as he started repairing my car and then we dated for a while. He was warm and funny and kind and caring and we had a nice time after a while, we met our way another man in 1980 and had three children and live in Grant Park. After sometime, Dean would drive by our house and...

In honor of the anniversary of Dean´s passing, we have laid some of his ashes with a marker at 1000 acres dog park in Sandy, Oregon. One of his favorite places to take all of his dog loves. Rest in Peace, we love & miss you Uncle Dean. To visit him; go to the confluence trail on the north side on all of the pathways, at the beginning of the park.

Dean had a special gift of love for all his dog friends.

I last saw cousin Dean at Uncle Kenneth's memorial in 2008. So wish we had gotten together after that. Always enjoyed his teasing humor and the twinkle in his eye. I loved my dear cousin Dean and he was loved by his family.
