I was devastated to hear about Deans passing. My dad always called him''Dean-O''. He was always laughing and having a great time. We put many many miles on his Monte Carlo back in the day cruising up and down Geyer Springs road on Friday and Saturday nights. You will be greatly missed Dean. Always love you š¢

Mr. Dean will always hold a special place in my heart. A great man who took care of those he loved and admired, full of jokes and laughter while doing it. He impacted my childhood in the most positive ways and I am forever grateful for him. I will forever cherish our memories made. Rest in peace our ''Mr Dean'' and beloved neighbor.

So sorry to hear of Dean's passing. We lived in Fouche and went on scout campouts together. I even worked for him in '93-94. Dean was a good friend.

I remember Dean when he was a tiny little boy dressed in a suit and Ronnie was a little bigger. Ms. Florence took them to church then they would come by Sonny's gas station and visit. I'm so sorry to hear about Dean but I pray that he knew Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Routh Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dean he was such a great guy. I played softball at Fouche Dam and Dean was always there rooting us on and we all would go cruising Geyer Springs afterwards. I lost touch with Dean but always considered him my friend. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
