To Dean:
I will miss you and always remember you. I will never forget you. Dean you made everyone around you smile and that smile will live on. You will never be alone up in heaven cause when you left this world you were somebody special, That smile that laugh there is no other words that will decribe you as you but everyone knows and will not forget you. Watch over everyone that you loved and knew to be your true friends and please watch over your family the most they will need you still even know you are gone. You will be missed forever my friend.

I knew Dean about 11 years ago and to this day what I remember about him was his happy-go-lucky nature. He was full of life and was the ray of sunshine in the group. You couldn't help but be in good spirits when in his presence. It is really true when they say the good die young. My prayers are with the entire Costa family. I am incredibly sorry for your loss.

David (my bro), Tony, Manny and Frankie and the rest of the Costa family, I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. Dean's passing has touched so many people in such a big way, including myself. Early Saturday (Jan 6) morning when my sister, Stefanie called me to tell me the tragic news, I was in complete and utter shock. I will always have very fond memories of Uncle Dean! Dean, this poem is for you.
The sad day Dean left this world...
When someone we love passes away, our hearts ache, but in time we find the strength to move on; Dean, our dear departed would want us to heal and remember all the good times we had with him.
Grief is a part of life, a normal way to mend the anguish and pain in our hearts; we need time to remember and time to mourn, before the recovery period will start.
Let's all come together to recuperate, as we go through this time of sorrow; let's help each other, with tender hearts to find a brighter tomorrow.
Dean, I miss you and will never forget you. I know that you will be watching over us......I will miss your smile ;)

Sad was the parting no one can tell,
So sudden on Earth the sorrow fell,
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear.
Rest in peace dean will always remember how great of a friend you were to many and how your smile brightened the room..May the angels take you to your final resting place where we will all meet again one day!! Gone but never forgotten.
