My son Matt Watts introduced me to Dean many years ago. I´ always felt blessed when I ran into him at Sams! He was a gentle giant with a wonderful heart! God took one of his best home and the world will be a sadder place because of his absence. Praying God gives you the comfort you need to get through the days ahead! God bless you all

Dean & I go back over 20 years. Since day 1, we were like family. The minute you met him there was this comfort & ease you rarely find meeting new people. He had that gift & ability to relate with complete strangers - from this point on you were no longer friends, but family. Although we had both become busy with work & family the last few years, unable to hang out, when seeing each other we would catch up quickly without skipping a beat. Over the years I shared many great times with him & Becky - it was wonderful news hearing they had gotten back together. I will forever cherish the memories with you brother. My thoughts & prayers go out to Becky & the children, may God comfort you & ease your pain.

I have loved you like a brother and a son. I cherish every visit and conversation we have ever had, even the stupid ones. How we found things to talk about every day for an hour or more, I still don't get. Miss you with all my heart. I hope you are with Mom and Dad and are happy and healthy again doing everything and anything you want (within reason, don't need for you to get booted from heaven)!
