UPDATE ON DEAN ** 4/29/2026

We have an important update on Dean.

Dean is scheduled to be medically evacuated from Mexico today (4/29/2026) at 4 PM CST to San Diego, California, where he will finally be able to receive treatment for his injuries here in the United States.

While this is a huge step forward, it comes with another major challenge.

We are now facing the cost of the emergency airlift required to bring him home safely. This expense is significant and adds to the already overwhelming medical costs we are trying to cover.

We are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, that you continue to share, donate, and support in any way you can. Every contribution, every repost, every bit of love is helping us get Dean the care he needs.

Thank you for standing with us during this time. We feel your support more than you know.

- From Cheri and the rest of Team Dean.

If you know Dean, you love him. It’s that simple.

Dean is the kind of person who shows up for everyone. He’s the life of the party, the heartbeat of every room, the drummer in countless bands, and the friend you can always count on. Whether you needed support, a laugh, or someone to believe in you, Dean was there. No hesitation.

Now, he needs us.

Dean was recently in a devastating ATV accident where the vehicle flipped and landed directly on his back, leaving him with a severe spinal injury. His spine is broken, and he urgently needs reconstructive spinal surgery to have any chance at recovery and getting his life back.

But we’ve hit a heartbreaking barrier.

The hospital is requiring a $30,000 deposit upfront before they can perform the surgery.

This is not just overwhelming, it’s time-sensitive. Every moment matters when it comes to spinal injuries, and delays could impact his recovery in ways we can’t afford.

We are asking for your help to raise funds to cover this deposit and any additional medical expenses that will follow. Dean has given so much of himself to others; his time, his energy, his talent, his love. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

No amount is too small. Whether you can donate, share, or simply keep him in your prayers, it all matters.

Let’s come together for someone who has always brought people together.

Let’s show Dean the same love he’s given to all of us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
