Dean was a wonderful person, full of kindness, love, and adventure. He was honest, funny, and a bit mischievous, which made our time with him special. He deeply loved his family, especially his wife Emma, and his children, Ollie and Ava. His strength will continue to guide you in the years ahead.
Emma, as his beloved wife, you were the heart of his world. Dean's love for you was immeasurable, and the partnership you both shared was truly special. Ollie and Ava, your dad was not only a loving parent but also a true inspiration. He believed in your potential and filled your lives with his love, laughter, and wisdom. As you continue your journey, remember that you carry a part of Dean's spirit with you, and his legacy lives on through the amazing individuals you are becoming.
Dean also had a very special bond with Mum, Milly, and Dad, Nick—a bond which only grew stronger during his return to Geelong in recent years. He was always Milly’s cherished little boy, and he will live on in her heart until the day she dies.
Dean's legacy is all about spreading joy, love, and leaving lasting memories in our hearts. We love you, Dean.
