Herman, Linda and Brian, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time and always. I have fond memories of having Dean on my youth basketball team. He was so proud to be on that team. We share your loss. God bless and keep you in his care.
Herman, Linda and Brian, I am so saddened to hear this news. Dean holds a special place in my heart and I thank you for allowing me to be a part of his journey. I remember a lot of good times with Dean, but especially when we went to monster putt putt. He laughed and had such a good time. His smile was contagious and he will truly me missed. Many thoughts and prayers for you at this time.

In memory of Dean Atwood, RIP…My Prayers to All the family. Dean was very special to work with and I enjoyed all the times I worked with him. He was a joy to be around. He was so funny and made my day when I worked with him. It was a joy to take him to the special Olympics and watch him win those metals.
