Today I honor the love of my life, my heart, my home my beloved husband, Dean Ray Victory. Dean was more than a name. He was strength when I felt weak, calm when life felt overwhelming, and light in moments that seemed dark. He carried himself with quiet courage and a heart that loved deeply and faithfully. To the world he may have been one man, but to me, he was everything. He had a way of making ordinary days feel special whether through a simple smile, a warm embrace, or the steady reassurance in his voice. In his presence, I felt safe. I felt chosen. I felt loved in a way that words can never fully capture. Dean´s love was not loud or boastful it was steady, loyal, and true. It showed up every day. It was in the little things, the thoughtful gestures, the way he listened, and the way he cared. He taught me what partnership truly means standing side by side, facing life together, no matter what came our way. Even in his absence, his love remains. It lives in my memories, in the lessons he taught me, and in the strength he helped build within me. I carry him with me always in my heart, in my spirit, and in the love that will never fade. Dean Ray Victory, you were my husband, my best friend, and my greatest blessing. Thank you for loving me the way you did. Thank you for the life we shared. Thank you for being mine. Forever and always,

You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

I love you so much Uncle Dean
It´s weird, I have so much to say, but at the same time, I don´t know what to say.
The day you left us and we got that call plays thru my head everyday
Give grandpa and grandma a big hug for us everyday.
RIP
Love Jiffery
