Joel Dennis Dean

Kristy, My heart goes out to you and the kids. May God bless you and comfort you.

Sandy,Vic and family, very sorry to hear about your son. Please know that you're in my prayers and thoughts. May God bless you with comfort and peace. Sue

I served in the Maryland Baltimore Mission with Joel (Elder Dean). I wasn't ever companions with him but I was around him enough to feel of his spirit and I know he was a good man who loved the Lord. My heart goes out to his family,I know that death is not the end and he has been taken home to a better place. His family is in my prayers. God bless

"I said a prayer for you this morning
I prayed you would wake with a smile,
I prayed you would make a new friend,
I prayed you would enjoy a minute with a child,
I prayed the wind would blow through your hair,
I prayed you would notice the sunset,
I prayed your day would pass without a care,
I prayed you would hear a song to make you happy"
(From a poem written by Joel)

How blessed we were to have such a wonderful person...

The last time I saw Joel was at the SCERA pools. I was chasing our 3 year old around and he was with Savannah. As I watched him with his daughter, I could really tell how much he loved her and what a good dad he must be.

Joel and I share a common love for old Toyota Land Cruisers. Maybe in the next life we will have a chance to restore a few together.

Our prayers go out to Kristy and the kids. God Bless.

I never knew Joel very well, but his sister, Amber, was my sister-in-law. Dezmond is my nephew as well as his. We are all going to miss him, I know this, but all the same we also he has reached heaven, and hoping he's having a ball up there.

Joel was our neighbor and friend. He was a man without guile, a friend to all, and he had a flawless Christian character. He has a most wonderful companion in Kristy as she is one of the sweetest people we know. His loss is hard for us to bear as we truly loved him. He helped our family on many occasions and was always so kind and gracious. We love you Kristy!

Our deepest sympathy to Kristy, Sara, Sam and Savannah. We share in your loss of Joel. We will miss him too. May the Lord comfort and sustain you during this difficult time.

Your friends from the Slate Canyon 9th Ward

My heart is broken for Kristy and the kids. Joel was an affirmation that there is good in the world. He blessed all our lives. We will keep him close to our hearts. I love you Kristy, Sara, Sam and Sav.
