June 9th...
We weren't allowed to see each other... But I wasn't going to let you go that easy... we always talked about getting married and starting a family! That day we went down the the woods on the canal. We met there every second we could just for a hug and a kiss. We walked to the waterfall... you leaned over kissed me and asked me "Do you still want to marry me?" I replied of course I do! You pulled out a little red box.. Tears started to fall as you opened the box... "Brooklyn will you be mine!" I grabbed you and said yes! you put the ring on my finger and we giggled cause we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into! We just knew we wanted to be together! It was the perfect birthday! We had so much planned for this year.. June 9th, 2014.. I love you! I will never forget that day!<3

I knew Dean as a student at I.C.S. He had a generous heart and a sweet, gentle spirit. Dean also had a great smile. These wonderful qualities endeared him to the other students and to his teachers. As the years passed, I saw Dean infrequently. When I did see him, he always had a smile and a friendly greeting. It had been a few years since I last saw Dean until Saturday, May 31. On that day, I was parking my truck in the parking lot of the hardware store when I heard “Hi, Mr. D.” It was Dean and he had the same smile and spirit that I loved when he attended I.C.S. I was thrilled that he recognized me and greeted me so enthusiastically. I asked how he was doing to which he replied “I am going fishing.” I took his reply to mean that going fishing meant that all was well. It’s difficult to understand, but all is now well with Dean as he is happy and at peace in God’s presence. The hearts and prayers of the I.C.S. community go out to Dean’s family and friends. May God bless you in your time of sadness.

I can remember it like it was yesterday. The chubby little innocent boy with big brown eyes and sandy blonde hair tugging at hand and leading me to his room where there was an area rug that looked like a road map that he wanted to play cars on. Before we sat down, he placed his sippy cup on the ground, pointed to a small circular shape on the rug, and said, "Squish the bug!" Dean thought every small thing on the ground was a bug.
So we squished and squished and squished again until all of the bugs were "gone."
We resumed playing cars and I remember thinking "This kid is so friendly and he doesn't even know me." I was a stranger to Dean but that didn't matter. That was the thing about Dean- he could befriend anyone. As a child and as an adult, it didn't matter if you were young, old, rich, poor, or rainbow colored, Dean was always able to find the value in any human being and could make a friend with anyone.
We crashed and chased cars all over that map. In no time, I established my role in the Fredericks family as their nearly live-in babysitter. Sami was just 2 months old when I met and fell in love with her as well.
Over the coming months and years I fell head-over-heals in love with these kids. With a combination of looks and charm topped off with an affable demeanor, Dean was easy to love. Everywhere we went ladies would pinch his cheeks and swoon at what a little looker he was. And boy could he lay on the charm in return!
One of my favorite memories of Dean was when he was 2 or 3 years old and he would climb into my lap, grab my face, and tell me how beautiful I was. One time we went out on the boat and when we returned at night, I suddenly had splotches all over my face and body that were white compared to my otherwise tan body. It didn't take long to realize that they were Dean's sun-screened handprints all over me!
I remember the day he went to Kindergarten, which consisted of high-fiving and hugging Dean, and consoling Betty as her baby was "growing up too fast!" One time, I picked Dean up from Kindergarten, strapped him in the back seat and asked him how it was going. His response was "It's rough Nee…" he continued to say, "There's just so many girls who like me, I don't know what to do!"
Could you blame them, Dean?!
Dean was such an inquisitive child. He asked question after question always wanting to understand everything to the best of his ability. You could always tell when he was taking something in because he would repeat whatever you just said but whisper it under his breath to himself.
It was a gift watching Dean grow up and remaining close to the Fredericks family. As Dean grew older so much about him changed and so much remained the same. He always had his big, brown, soulful eyes and a loving spirit.
I don't think I ever saw Dean without that sheepish grin on his face and I don't think one visit ever went by where I did not make him sit in my lap and as I squeezed him. Dean and I had a bond that was unshakable and he made sure to let every guy I dated know that. He'd tell them "Just remember… she was mine before she was yours!"
It pains me to feel the agony of losing Dean but I am contented to know his soul is at peace and I trust that he is in good hands. I am grateful for the years I got to spend watching him grow from a toddler to boy to a man. My heart breaks for one of my best friends in the world, Dean's mother, Betty, his father Mike, his sister Sami, and everyone who knew and loved Dean. Its no doubt that we've lost someone we loved so dearly, but we've gained an angel. Until we meet again Dean, please stay close to us. I love you!
Love always,
Nee

One of my very favorite memories of Dean is when he would sit in the middle of my couch in the compartment opening and pat his chubby belly and say "I have a rootbeer belly" Forever in my heart Dean, I l Love You.

Our prayers go out to all in the family. Loosing someone so young is so hard, keep him closely guarded in your hearts with fond memories and hope. In the path forward you will have much to reflect on and purpose. Keep each other strong, the binding fabric of our lives is woven with love.

Dean always had a thing for cars, especailly fast ones! I rememeber everytime i saw Dean the same questions would come up "Hows that Camaro doing, you still got it right?", "You gotta take me for a ride sometime." Always the same questons, and if they wern't about cars they were about girls. Same old Dean asking the same old questions! I remeber the last thing he said to me, he was asking if i would do a burnout for him in the culdesac on my way out, i of course told him no! But just so the Fredericks know if they come home and they find some skid marks in there culdesac they are for Dean, beacuse we all know thats what he would have wanted!
