Our beloved gentle giant has fallen!

Dean Byrd passed away after a short illness on Oct 11th.

If you talked to Dean for more than a minute you had a friend for life. He was intimidating in size and stature but as soon as you met him you realized you were in the presence of an oversized teddy bear.

He was a master mechanic who selflessly gave his knowledge and skills away daily to anyone in need. He would often stay late at work to help someone fix their car who couldn't afford to bring it through the shop. Unless it was date night, then he had to go! Dean loved riding his motorcycle and listening to good music.

Dean's work family, who love him and will miss him dearly.

We would like to help Dean's wife, Robin, and their kids with funeral and medical expenses as they grieve. Please consider a donation in any amount to honor Dean's memory.

Thank You for giving to my friend.
