Dean Anthony Obituary
Dean was a devoted husband to Patricia and a loving girl dad to his three daughters, Nina, Vanessa, and Emily. He cherished his family and always strived to be the best father and husband he could be. Dino's caring nature extended beyond his immediate family, as he was a good friend and an excellent family member. He deeply loved and cared for those around him, always wanting what was best for everyone. He is survived by his wife, daughters, sister Maryilin, brothers Ray and Bobby.
Educated at St. Mark's School, Atlantic High School, Florida Institute of Technology, Babson College, and Nova Southeastern University, Dino was a lifelong learner. He served in the United States Air Force and was stationed in Aviano, Italy. He excelled in his career as a top super yacht broker for Allied Marine, where he was recognized for his integrity, attentiveness, and industry insight. Prior to that, he owned and managed Dean Anthony Yachts, growing the company from a start-up and utilizing his signature multi-channel marketing strategy. Dino's exceptional comparative market analysis methodology ensured a much shorter market time and superior net proceeds for his ultra-high-net-worth clientele. He also worked as a senior sales executive at HMY Yacht Sales, where he consistently ranked in the top 10 percent in gross sales and generated over $100 million in personal gross sales. Dino began his career in 1985 as the owner, manager, and service technician for Diesel Engineering Marine Service.
Dino's dedication to serving others extended to his involvement in the community. He was a member of the Florida Yacht Brokers Association (FYBA) and volunteered at Reveal Fellowship Church and Save the Children. Reveal Fellowship Church was where Dino worshipped, finding solace and strength in his relationship with his Lord Jesus Christ.
Beyond his professional and community endeavors, Dino had a passion for sports and the ocean. He loved playing tennis, swimming, and engaging in all ocean sports.
A Celebration of Dino's Life will be held at Reveal Fellowship Church in Lake Worth, Florida, on October 21st at 11:00 am. In memory of Dino Anthony, contributions can be made to Reveal Fellowship Church or to Miguel Delgado's Fund, which supports Patricia's mentally disabled brother.
Dean will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of love, service, and dedication will forever be cherished by his family, friends, and community.

I had the pleasure of knowing Dean and worked closely with him and his clients that he represented. He was the consummate pro and a great guy! Condolences to his family! He will be missed!

Dean and I loved Basketball. We would drive to the beach to play and listen to The Jerky Boys. He was so funny and was really good at impersonations. He cracked me up when he did Thurston Howell from Giligan´s Island.
Our first Easter/Resurrection Sunday spent wirh the Anthony family and ours. Dean was so excited to have "won" the book on God´s Grace.

Sorry that it has taken some time for me to write this. During the time that I’ve gotten to know you and spend time with you, I’ve gotten to know the tall, funny, larger than life type of person you are. You made sure that your presence was known in any room you walked into. But, beyond the laughs, and jokes, you were a man that really loved. First Jesus, then your family, then everyone else. To me, you were more than a friendyou were someone I really looked up to and held to the upmost honor and respect. By spending time with you, I watched how you lived your lifeand I’ve learned so much from just watching you live. You never knew this but you were an answered prayer for me. Something I’ve prayed many years for. I really appreciated all the phone calls, texts, and in person conversations we had about many different things. They really made an impact to me. I’m going to miss having our guys day, just you and I, every Sunday afternoon watching football on your couch. Gonna miss the wisdom and knowledge that you constantly shared with me. I thank you for just being yourself. You were truly a man of God that I respected and looked up toAnd I don’t take that lightly because I rarely say/feel that for someone. That’s how special you are. Not only are you alive in Christ right now, but you are also alive in the memories of your family and loved ones. I can’t wait to see you again my friend and to tell you all that I had done in lifebecause I wanted to live my life to show you what became of me after all that you imparted into meI wanted to make you proud. But I promise that I will tell you when I see you again and hopefully, I will indeed make you proud. May you spend eternity in the joy of the Lord knowing that your girls are in the Lord’s hands and will be looked after by the village surrounding them. Till next time my friend, can’t wait to see you again.

I remember Dean as my cool uncle that would stay up late playing Halo with my brother and I. Remember going on car rides with him and Pachi singing Ride Wit Me by Nelly. Spending days fishing on the dock with cut up hotdogs. But most of all, I’ll remember the father and husband he was to Pachi and the girls. He’s a 2nd dad to my brother and I and we’ll always cherish those memories growing up. We’ve got things handled down here, just get the Xbox ready and we’ll see you soon enough. Love you Big Guy

My husband, my partner, my knight, my protector, my provider, my sweet sweet man. He is the most important man in my life after my dad. Dean always strived to be better, do better, and always in love.
His most repeated sentence was, "tell the truth in love".
He was passionate about Jesus, passionate about life, passionate about his family, passionate about sales, passionate about tennis, but he was most happy in the ocean. Boy did he love the ocean.
I am barely breathing without his presence, but the hope of resurrection in Jesus Christ is what gives me mercies and strength every morning.
Thank you for making the past 24 years of my life the most amazing, adventurous, fun, loving, meaningful, beautiful years of my life. Thank you for our daughters and all that you poured into them, for showing them what a godly man looks like, a man that respects and loves sacrificially like Jesus loves the Church. Thank you for your support, generosity and love for my family. You cared and were always there for me; in spite of all the craziness, you were my solid ground, always there to support me in what we believed was right.
For now, I will miss you. You´re walking, talking on your phone, having coffee, belging out seet!, the flowers you found on the side of the road and would bring me just because, our working dates, your calls 5 minutes after you left, how you looked at me with so much love and your sweet smile; until I see you again my sweet prince

I remember first meeting Dean at a birthday party for my wife when we lived in Wellington. We had recently moved to Florida, and it was nice to meet such a nice and friendly family. Dean was always larger than life when he entered a house or a room. The Anthonys quickly became close family friends and part of our close family life over the last 17+ years including holidays and vacations . Dean was always focused on being a better husband, father, and business owner. Dean would always ask me what I had learned in the last week in business and the experiences I had so that he could learn, and then he would talk about the Yacht deals he was working on. I have always enjoyed our conversations and will miss them greatly.

Terry and I first met Dean when we joined his Bible studies at he and Patricia´s home. Always smiling and welcoming. I´ll always remember him coming to our home (along with Rick and Ray) the night before my husband´s hip surgery to lay his hand in my husband and pray over him. Dean was a great man of God and will be missed. But he is in a better place with his Lord and Savior living the best life!

One of my favorite memories of Dean was playing cranium at family game nights. It was always such a fun time. He was an exceptional father, husband, uncle, and person in general. He will be missed by all those that were lucky to know him.

my dad was the best dad ever. whenever i got sick his first instinct was to take care of me, he never cared if he got sick himself. he also took care of every scratch, sprained ankle, bruise, and tummy ache that i had with the most diligence. he even sat next to my bed to make sure i never felt lonely when i was sick. he was always willing to hold my hand when we were out, or take my calls between classes - even if he was with a client. he edited my papers too throughout high school and kept me company whenever i was writing them late at night in college. even my all nighters during finals he came in periodically to check in on me. he kept me company while i was studying hebrew at 4-5 am before my exams at 12 pm. he tried to help me study but kept me company when there wasn´t a way. he always mentioned how proud he was of me to everyone. he even sent a long text of recommendation to someone for me. he and i have a love of goldfish and would stare at my tank and just talk. he played salon with my sister and i and let us "paint his nails" which was just crayon colored over his nails. dad, you are my best friend, and i love and miss you so much.

Ray and I met Dean at our Bible study in 2007. I remember when we met him, he had his sweater wrapped around his neck, and when he introduced himself to us, and it was an immediate friendship. He will always be in our hearts as a wonderful, fun loving Husband / Father, God-fearing man, and, Prayer warrior who Loved the Lord. He will be dearly missed, and we are looking forward to meeting him in Heaven, in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.. Ray and Jacqueline Vidal

Dean was a very important member of our family. I will forever remember his loving, caring, honest and generous character. His fulfilling personality and joyful voice will be deeply missed in our homes, not only during our family gatherings but in most of our regular days.
"Yachts" was my brother and my friend.
I will forever be grateful to him for his strong family standards, his readily helping attitude and for everything he represented to my sister Patricia, their children, my children, my nana, my mother and every other of my siblings.
His love and friendship will be irreplaceable to my husband and I and his memory will always be one to stay treasured in all of our hearts

Dean Anthony was a bright and shining light to his family, friends and colleagues. I’m sure the lights in Royal Palm Beach, FL will be so much more dim. We can’t wait to see his new bright heavenly light when we meet again in heaven!

Dean was always the type of person you would want to be around. When I was attending school at FAU, I remember every time I wanted to visit Dean, Patricia, Vanessa and Emily I was always welcomed. Dean cracked me up every time he answered the phone at the gate and I was always truly happy to visit him and everyone else. He never failed to light up the room and put a smile on everyone´s face. He was very kind, generous and joyous person to spend time with. Rest in peace Dean

I met Dean and Patricia in 2008 at our Bible study group. It was a very difficult time in my life, as I had widowed in 2007. Dean led our group with much joy, enthusiasm and love. He sometimes had to redirect us, when we got off task. He would simply reattach his readers that had a magnet in the middle and say” Ok guys let’s do this.” He helped me fix many broken things in my home as well as helped me with car issues. A memory I will never forget was during our homeless outreach. Dean took his sneakers off and gave them to a homeless man, he was barefoot the rest of the evening. His kind heart, love for others and selflessness will not be forgotten. Until we meet again brother in Christ. I am so happy we spoke and prayed recently.

From the moment I met Dean I just adored him. His love for Jesus and all his girls was immediately evident. He had a sincerity to him that was truly unique. Dean was lighthearted and funny. Earth just got a bit worse and Heaven even better! Love you DA. :)

I will always remember how much Dean cared and wanted the best for everyone around him and how he was always making others laugh, It didn´t matter where it was, at church, being welcomed into he and Patricia´s home, or regular office calls, I always felt that he cared and was invested in whatever was being spoken about, and the conversation almost always ended laughing.
