Dearest Dean - You will always be unforgettable to me and all!! You were goodness personified.. all too apparent esp. in your ever/over protective love towards your beloved Ruthie and Isabella. I take comfort in the thought that they have an angel in you, watching and taking care of them all the time. We all miss and love you, Dean!.

Happy Birthday, Dean...from earth to heaven.

i remember riding our bicycles all day,playing basketball,the many house parties,the many friends we all share..all of us were less than 10yrs old , when we all lived in a place we call Merville,it was like DISNEYLAND for all of us,it is our special place,and you DEAN is a special friend....I will forever cherish our childhood friendship,till we meet again my friend

Hi Ruthie and Bella,
We will miss Dean alot... Never had the chance to say goodbye but not to worry bec. He wiil always be with us in our hearts... So soon but never will be forgotten.. Said Mass for him this Sept. 22&23 as a special intension. Take care and we love u all...Lana, Jun and family

Dear Ruthie, my deepest condolences. Your eulogy says so much of your special and beautiful marriage; and, of your deep faith. I can imagine Dean smiling at you from up above. He's in his white high school shirt and blue long pants, like how he was when we were schoolbus mates in Merville.

Our deepest condolences to Ruthie, Isabella, and the Saba family. What I will always remember of Dean is his disarming smile. @Ruthie, your account of Dean is one of an extra-ordinary individual. He grew up to be a beautiful person indeed! The world has lost a saint.

Your one-liner responses which occasionally expanded to a few more sentences often left us hanging and wanting more explanations from you. Your actions though, marked by faith and selfless giving silenced us to trust the more in God and be grateful. You have taught me well by your witnessing of love. You are where a kind and generous soul should be...... Pray for us . I love you.

Dearest Dean, Thank you for making my best friend Ruthie and my inaanak Isabella so happy, and for taking care of them so well. I know you will continue doing that from your special nook in heaven. You will always be in our hearts and will continue being an inspiration to us all. Thank you for showing us how to love -- completely, unconditionally, and with such great joy. Love, Marichi

My family, Dulce, Celina, Lester, Miguel, and Cheng, will pray for your journey, Dean, and more so, for the loved ones who shall miss you especially Ruthie ad Isabella, Tito Purito and Tita Nora, and your siblings.

You will be missed, my friend. It was a pleasure knowing you all through these years. Rest in peace with God.

My sincere condolences to Ruthie and Isabella. Love & prayers, bocci

My heart goes out to both Ruthie and Isabella for their loss. But in my heart, I know You are in the presence of our Father and all is well. Though You were only with us for a short time, we are grateful for the time our Father gave Ruthie, Isabella, family and friends to know you, and love you as a husband, father, son, brother and friend. We thank Him for the gift of your life.

The formative and destructive years we spent together in Merville will forever be etched in my memory. Vaya con Dios, my friend!

You will be missed by the people whose lives you have touched. Our sincerest prayers are with you and your family.

My prayers for you and your family. We, your Don Bosco schoolmates, will miss you.

We will miss you, Dean! You were such a cheerful, generous and kind cousin/uncle to us all. We will always think of you. We love you, Dean!

Dean, you were always full of life and whenever you were around, laughter always filled the air. Your light shone brightly and warmed everyone who encountered you. You will be missed...but we stand assured that you will be welcomed in heaven with the words, "Well done good and faithful servant. Come share in your Master's joy!" Pray for us as we pray for you!

Dearest Dean - I close my eyes and see your smile, warmly welcoming me to our family events. I console myself with the thought that you have lived your life ever ready for our Maker. I am deeply saddened.. I wiill miss you terribly especially at our next reunion. My heart and prayers go to Ruthie and Isabella! Much love to your Dean! Tita Chit

Dean, I'm very sad you had to leave so soon. You were one of the most fun and crazy and decent fellow I have ever met. You always lightened up my day with your jokes and laughter. Thank you for being part of our lives even for a short time only. We will miss you.

We are blessed to have the chance to meet and know you through Cecile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time....

I am blessed to have the lucky chance to have met you. Keeping you in my prayers.

Goodbye dear friend..Nothing will ever be the same without you.
