I went to high school to Dean and was in his physics class. He smile was infectious and gave everyone the time of day. He always told me to follow my dreams. I am on my path to following them. I think of Dean everyday.

I attended Marymount College with Dean. We were in the same year. Although not close close friends, Dean has made an impact on my life. His sense of humour, easy going and helpful personality will always be remembered. My deepest thoughts go to the Hofstee family. You should be very proud to have Dean as your son. I will always remember the time me and Dean were grouped together along with Shae and Ben to perform a drama performance. His personality shown through and brings out the best in everybody. The Good die young.

A strong bond formed at uni, studing, car pooling, sharing notes and drinking at the bar. People always say nice things about someone when they pass away, but Dean truely was a great guy who got a huge buzz from helping people. Those that knew him will miss dearly.
