Although it has been many, many years since we spent time with Dean, we were so sad to her of his passing. We have fond memories of the friendly young teen we knew as Night Owl. He always had a smile on his face. After having an 'eyeball ' with Chris he would often visit him at the caravan, or go out riding around Geelong with a CB radio on one of the push bikes.
We would like to send our condolences to his family and loved ones.
Fly free Night Owl,
Devils Kitchen and Storm.

Beautiful service. Sending our deepest condolences to you, Emma, and your family. Remember Dean's strength, and borrow from it when you need to. Remember his smile, and let that light your way. Remember his love, and let it sustain you.

Love to you and yours from
David and Jay

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.

Sending love strengths and hugs to Emma, Oliver, Ava and the whole Yablechnick family.
I was lucky enough to know Dean as a work colleague!
He was so hard working, always willing to share a story to help the time pass at work and not afraid to stand up for what was right. Thanks for being you always.
