"Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow.
I am the diamond glint
on newly fallen snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the soft and gentle autumn rain
When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft, starlight at night."
Krystal & girls,
I know that the coming days, months, years will be more than difficult, but always remember that Chris surrounds you everyday, watches over you from above, gives you unconditional love... it will never really be understood why certain people are taken from us so quickly, especially the good ones, the genuine spirits, the people you love the most. I am thinking about you and praying for you everyday. Keep your heads as high as you can and know you have my love and support always. May the happiest memories of Chris get you through each day. He will never be forgotten, truly a blessing to have known him.

Krystal and family,
My deepest condolances on Chris' passing.
I've been thinking about Chris an awful lot this past week, and the single word that keeps coming up is GENUINE.
Chris struck me as a man who loved the simple things in life, and didn't care to "put on a show" for anyone. He valued family, friends, a hard days work, and his country.
May God give you strength and courage in these difficult times

To my right hand man of four years, friend, great person; father, husband, and patriot. One of my best decisions was to have promoted you as our operations manager. Your legacy will be the positive impact you have made on all of those you worked and served with. You made those around you better and I am honored to be part of that group. I am thankful for the time I had with him.
Krystal, Lauren, and Emily,
Sarah and I send you our deepest condolences. We will always remember the good times we had together and with the dogs. You will always be in our prayers and memories.

Chris was a wonderful person and we will all miss him greatly. He was a proud man and very well respected. It was a pleasure to work with Chris as well as to get to know him personally. He was a very proud father and when he talked about his family he would light up like a Christmas tree! I will miss your honary smile, funny stories and jokes. My heart felt sympathy goes out to your family and my thoughts and prayers are with them.

Chris Dean was one of the nicest, most hard-working people I have ever known. He was truly a good man. Genuine. His love of all things manly like hunting, Nascar and big trucks along with his adorable accent, his sneaky grin and twinkling eyes when he had a secret or played a joke are what I will always remember most. I know he would not have chosen to leave his beautiful family, but I have the hope that he is in heaven with the father looking down on you, and also in your hearts always. My heart goes out to your family, and you are in my prayers.

He will be deeply missed by many.To: Krystal, Lauren and Emily you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you and your Family.

Krystal and family, I was stunned to see Chris has left us way too early. I will never forget how Chris gave me his blessing as your friend, basically because I was a native Carroll Countian, like him. God help you through this difficult time.

Chris-
I am not sure where to begin. I feel like this is just some bad dream and I will wake up. You were such a wonderful person, friend, and father. I think back about all the crazy times at Snavely and I have to laugh. You always were smiling and making jokes, but you knew when it was time to get to work. You were one of the hardest working people I ever knew. I missed you when I left there and now I miss you even more. I pray for Krystal, Lauren, and Emily everyday. I can't imagine what they are going through without you. Please watch over them and protect them. I know you are up there looking down at us. Thank you for always being there and being someone I could talk to. You will NEVER be forgotten!
