Dean Klement Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jan. 22 to Jan. 25, 2011.
KLEMENT, Dean Randall May 9, 1964 - January 5, 2011 It is with the deepest sorrow that we announce the sudden passing away of our beloved son Dean in Bangkok, Thailand. He is survived by his parents George and Judith Klement of Calgary; three brothers Mark (Frederique) and their children Manon and Lucas of Le Mans, France; Glenn (Stephanie) and their children Laura and Theo of Sydney, Austrailia; Craig (Annette) and their daughter Hana of Sydney, Austrailia; Dean's first wife Elise and their daughter Emma of Paris, France; and his second wife Yui of Bangkok, Thailand. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Dean lived a life of great passion and pain, witnessing a life of great injustice and human misery through his many years of humanitarian service with MSF France (Doctors Without Borders), MSF Belgium, Thailand and Australia. His life of intensity and emotion served him well and gained him many friends through his humanitarian missions worldwide. There will be a celebration of his life and his achievements on January 29 at his boyhood home in Calgary. His extended family and many friends are invited to attend. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. With Much Love, Family and Friends.

Mark & Frederique and family, I saw the obituary about your brother Dean and wanted to send you my condolences. He looks and sounds like he was one of the few people that really had the courage of his convictions and set out to make a real difference in the world. His life and values set a standard for the rest of us to try and achieve something worthwhile in this world.

we are shocked to learn about his death. Since we met in Burundi in 1995 we kept on seeing each other from time to time.
We hoped to visit him in Thailand with the kids a bit bigger... we came too late.

I never met Dean but if he was anything like his Mother he would have been a wonderful man. My heart goes out to you, Judith, and your family. Love Shiela and Ian

I was shocked to read about Dean's passing in the paper today. Although I didn't really know Dean, I know his dear mother and my heart aches for her and the rest of his family. May God grant you the strength you will need during this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for this terrible loss.

My heart breaks. I was fortunate to meet the man, Dean (having know him as a teen) in Feb and Mar of 2010 in Bangkok while visiting with my son Brynley. He had grown to an intelligent, knowledgeable, humorous and caring person. I am so pleased I got a chance to reacquaint myself with Dean and had a chance to meet his lovely daughter Emma. I am so sorry he is gone. He will be missed. Please accept my condolences. Janet Johnson

Dean,

It wasn't long time we worked together as "teacher" and "student".However,I'd like to say "Thank you so much" for what you shared in my class, and most
of all, all inspired me being a good teacher.

I was there,at the temple, said the last good bye to you.And I do believed
that you also were there saying it to me.

Please know that you will always be in my remembrance.

From your teacher,

Tang
