On August 10, 2025, our beloved Dean Norris passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind his only daughter, April. Dean was more than a neighbor and friend — he was a man with a warm heart, a calm spirit, and a smile that could light up a room. Whether it was sharing a kind word or simply making people laugh, Dean touched the lives of everyone who knew him.

Dean’s passing has left April not only with the heartbreak of losing her father, but also with the heavy responsibility of managing funeral and memorial arrangements. April is facing this difficult time while also dealing with a challenging financial situation, making it hard for her to carry the financial burden alone.

We are setting up this GoFundMe to help April cover:

1.) Funeral and memorial expenses so Dean can be honored with the dignity and love he deserves.

2.) Basic living costs to help April stay on her feet while she navigates this overwhelming time.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly to April to help relieve some of this weight from her shoulders. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page so more people can hear Dean’s story and show their support.

Dean meant so much to so many, and now we have a chance to show just how much he was loved. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and generosity during this time of loss.

With love and gratitude,

April Norris, Mindy Scott, Avy Barnes, Kelly Barnes
