John David Dean

Remembering David today. Our time together was brief. We met at Baylor and picked up our friendship back in Houston. We were fast friends and he was best man at my wedding. He missed the rehearsal dinner because he was interviewing for a job in California and after our honeymoon, he was gone to start his new career and his new life in California. We only saw each other once after that, but talked as often as life allowed. He was a great guy and a great friend and I still think of him often...

Being reminded of his passing brings back fond memories of a fine man. He was always kind and thoughtful. I look forward to seeing him again. Good friends are greater than gold!

I still think of John often and smile. What a great guy and a good friend. I wish he had lived closer and longer! I lost another very good friend and my younger brother in the last 2 years. It´s not easy, but I know I´ll see them soon. Karen, sorry we never got to know each other.

John was a college friend and best man at my wedding 29 years ago here in his hometown of Houston and though separated by many miles remained close over the years. I think of him often and regret I did not know Karen well. For John to have loved you as he did, you must be very special! I pray that God will give you peace and mercy as you are missing John and that you will be reunited with him in the life to come!

Dear Karen,
John and I have been friends since 1970 when we met at Baylor University. He was best man in our wedding and left immediately for his new job in California. We saw each other 13 years later when he was visiting his Dad, and tried to stay in touch over the past years by phone, email and prayers. He was one of the finest men I ever knew and he was my "brother". When I learned recently of his passing, I was saddened for our loss, but encouraged by the hope that those who...

Karen,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Both John and you have been like family to all the mentors and participants on the team and a true source of inspiration. John will always be with us in spirit.

Karen,
I cannot express enough how much you and John have influenced my life through TNT. You're one of the big reasons why I have continued to be involved with the program since 2002. I will always remember the times John would video tape us during training...especially, the Spring 2004 season when we filmed my impersonation of a particular American Idol reject (after 12 takes) and John's masterpiece, last season's "Mr. Bill Show". John will be missed...but not forgotten.

Karen: Please except our condolences for your tremendous loss. I remember when you first came to the cath lab shortly before you and John got married. You were such a special couple. Karen and Al
