JOHN DEAN

Whenever I drive past the home John & Carolyn lived in, (which is often), I look over, think of him, and miss him. Those of us who had the privilege to know John were lucky. He was the most welcoming person, with the biggest heart, and the best smile. He touched so many in our community with his compassion and left a legacy that will last forever.

I was driving by Vero Beach this week and mentioned a story to my wife of a time back in 1976, I drove down to Florida for a vacation all alone at the age of 19.
My truck's transmission broke at Vero Beach. I was alone and unable to find a place to stay while the truck was being worked on. They had to order parts, and it would take more than a week to repair.
I took a walk down the street and wasn't sure of my next move. I thought I'd hitch-hike to the beach to think, and a van...

I think of John often, what a great heart and generous spirit.

Remembering John as a true friend of which one does not encounter during a lifetime! Rest in peace my friend!

Miss you and your creative, spontaneous cooking

Missing you every single day john!!

Still missing you!

I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I have returned to Vero and had hoped to team up once again to bring revival to Vero. Last time, I was 14 years old. Now, almost 50 years later, I am missing my friend. He invited me to be the only female, only youth, to a pastor's breakfast every Monday morning at Howard Johnson's. He had me lead youth in Key '73 (1973) Operation Proclamation where I got to meet Nicky and Gloria Cruz. Oh how I wish we could talk one more time so I would know...

We talked about John recently when we were remembering the origins of our Prayer Meeting. John was a vital part of our Life in the Spirit Seminars. Our Prayer Meetings are vibrant and full of praise. Thanks for your leadership, John. I'm sure you are right up there praising the Lord with all the angels and saints. Thanks again!
