My wife and I first heard of this very tragic news yesterday evening as we were returning home from our vacation. To say that we are saddened by the sudden loss of our friend and neighbor is an understatement. Dean was a very kind and good person and was so full of life and we will miss him greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I didnt know Dean but I met his dad and he spoke highly of his son. unfortunatley we know just what you are going through. Although you never ever stop missing your son, with the help of friends, family and even strabgers, it will be more manageable with time. May he send you signs that he is ok and keep your Faith. Stay strong and remember that he is always with you - just in a differnt way now.
My prayers are with all of you...

To The Burgess Family,
I met Dean a couple years ago when I was residing in Wilmington, NC and opened my home to him while he was in town and I've never met such a gracious soul and upstanding young man. I just wanted you to know that he made a difference in my life even though I knew him for a brief moment in time. May God bless you all and bring you peace within... Amen
