Dear Ben, Emma & Darian. All of us from the band Spare Change would like to send our condolences to you.

None of us had the honour of knowing Dean, but it doesn't mean that our hearts don't ache for you, knowing that you have lost someone so special.

Much and love to all of you.

DENE, I had only known you for such a short time, we both knew our paths were meant to cross(-: your energy was off the charts it was infectious! You were probably the most positive supportive person I have met in my lifetime, you were 1/2 my age and your real life experiences and knowledge of ( well everything) was mind boggling to me! You said hello to anyone who walked by and to my amazement not only in English! You uplifted everyone around you ! You made us all better!

After meeting you and getting to know you I quit going to see a therapist! No need! You shared your real life experiences and gave me advice it was all right there in front of me with you…. I have never been happier and never felt more on track in my life because I had the opportunity to meet a genuine wear his heart on his sleeve true caring human being!

I am crushed and can’t believe this is how our new friendship pauses!

You will be missed my brother! I miss your texts checking on me every second day, what I thought was a tad Annoying at times I miss and crave those so positive reinforcement Texts now!

Love you my Brother you were the best, you were one of the real ones!

My condolences and prayers to your family.

To my other half I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it… you were the best you made me feel alive and so loved…your something special… I want to take this time and tell you how fortunate I am to have met you and through out the years we shared this friendship it was amazing you will never be replaced you will always have a special part in my heart… thank you for teaching me so many lessons in life … showing me what the world is like going to fancy coffee shops, restaurants and just enjoying the moment and not to think of anything else … one of my fav memories was when I was in uni first year Engineering which was a total blow but we had our fun I won’t forget on top being partners in crime …. I promise you I will finish my school for nursing as a Anesthetis and make you proud! Im still laughing about the Audi how we went crazy and living life in the wild side that was hot!… I’m going to miss our random adventures not knowing what we would do but we always found something to do… I been crying for days now and its so hard for me to even write this … it hurts me so bad…. I was actually in your neighbour hood last night trying to find your parents house I wanted to tell them condolences in person but it was so dark I couldn’t find the house…. thank you for everything you have done… especially finding that last puzzle piece with my friend I needed to set myself free. I love you so much ❤️…watch over me my angel

Rest in paradise my beautiful friend… see you in heaven one day ❤️
