Dean R. Derr

Dean Derr was a great neighbor and devoted parent. We always admired his hard-working attitude; he never seemed to waste a minute whether it was working on his house or in the garage. We also admired his dedication to his family, who he always gathered around him. We could always trust that he was near working diligently on some project, and he was always ready to lend a hand to anyone in the neighborhood. We will sorely miss him as one of the strong foundations of the neighborhood.

With deepest sympathy,

The Tabor family

Ed, Jen, and Cecelia

Dean was one of the first few guys that I got to know when I started working at Deka. At first he didn't say much, which is normal treatment for a new guy. One day I told him about a pile of 2x4's that were on a dock that I had been working on because I knew he was collecting them to build tree stands. Since that day, he was one of the friendliness guys that I worked with. You could always count on seeing Dean with a smile and a wave and when you got the chance, he was just the nicest guy to talk to. I always respected his opinion about matters dealing with work and trucking; because I knew he had so many years of experience. Seeing the reaction of the guys that he worked with after this tragedy was a testament to how much he was loved by those guys, which surely reaches in all directions of his life. My deepest sympathy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need. In the time that I knew Dean he was a kind loving man who always had a way of making people smile and I always had a good time when I was around him. He loved his family and always let that show. Although I don’t think I will fully understand why we had to lose such a great man I know that god gained a lot and he is definitely an angel even here on earth i considered him an angel. I will never forget what a great man Dean was.
