Lorri and I were so saddened and shocked to hear of Dean's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Dean's family and friends. Great father, husband and friend. My brother Gary and Dean were the very best of friends since the 8th grade when both our families moved out to Ravenna and as such Dean was considered a part of the Farr family for all those many years. As MSU grads, both Gary and myself, we enjoyed the U of M banter and as all of you who knew Dean could imagine, he more than held his own with the two us!!!

We will all miss him very deeply.

Could not have asked for a better son-in-law. Our hearts are breaking. We will miss him so much. He was one of a kind. He was a wonderful Dad to his boys and a wonderful husband to my daughter. Sometimes life is not fair. Please pray for Jackie, Daulton, Dakota, Bill, Barb, Deanna, Denise and all of the DeGroot family.

I met Dean through my step dad Jimmy Ellis and became good friends with Dean through the years. Me being an MSU I remember our conversations/disagreements on the rivalry between Michigan and Michigan State. The golf outings where me and Jimmy were always on teams doing anything we could to beat Dean even if it was put chapstick on our drivers. The family get togethers where me and Jimmy trying to beat Daulton and Dean in some cornhole just enjoying the memories. The earlier memories when Dean and Jimmy introduced me to softball and showed me what true competitiveness and dedication to a sport ment and how to just have fun and enjoy the sport. You was an amazing father, amazing husband, amazing mentor, amazing friend and overall amazing person. I will miss you 44 and will always remember those special memories we shared.
