Dean Everett Gross was the beloved five-month-old son of Thomas and Natalie Gross. He was the treasure of their lives—dearly loved, wonderful in so many ways, and brought endless joy to everyone who knew him. Dean’s bright spirit and sweet presence touched the hearts of his family and friends every single day.

Tragically, Dean passed away after a sudden and devastating accident, following 24 hours in intensive care. The loss of such a precious child is unimaginable, and Thomas and Natalie are facing a heartbreak no parent should ever have to endure. As they navigate this incredibly difficult time, their family has come together to help with arrangements and immediate needs.

We have been deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support from friends, family, and our community. Many have asked how they can help or show their support for Thomas and Natalie as they grieve the loss of their beloved Dean. While the family is taking care of arrangements and immediate needs, we wanted to create this space for anyone who feels moved to offer support—whether through kind words, memories, or a contribution if you wish. Your love and thoughtfulness mean so much during this time.
