Jeff Dean Obituary

My children were in his sixth grade science class at Arlington. They adored him. He was a phenomenal teacher and just a great human being. I really enjoyed listening to my children discuss what they learned from him and impact he made on their education and well being. My sincere condolences to his family. May he rest in peace

Jeff was my go to guy for sound at the 5 Christian concerts I did at Koehler. He was a pro and great to work with. I knew nothing but he always had everything under control with these big time artists. He will be greatly missed. A kind and gentle soul

My sincere condolences. I worked with Jeff back in the 80's on various art festivals and thought the world of him. Although I haven't lived in Findlay for 20 years, I was happy to run into Jeff 2 summer's ago & it was like no time had passed since we last talked. He was a good one....

He was a good sixth grade science teacher

Thank you, Jeff, for taking me under your wing and allowing me to work all those Koehler Center concerts with you years ago. It was appreciated more than you know. Your kindness was abundant. Rest in peace.

I recall Jeffs 1st system which i believe was setup in the front yard at the South End of Findlay back in the 70`s.... Need not be said but we've gone back many years. I believe that the last time I saw him was when I was visiting my father at the Briar Hill Assisted living facility in North Baltimore as was Jeff (If my mind isn't messing with me, as usual) I realized that we both had white hair. Shocker.... My best to the family. I know he was extremely proud of the boys for their participation in the music field and on that note. So sorry and well, I'll just let the silence complete this note.

Jeff was my mentor at running sound from many years ago-and a great friend. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for the Dean family.

Craig and I have known Jeff for many years. His smile was seen from a mile away. He was always very helpful when doing what he loved, making bands sound good. Sorry to the Dean family for losing such a great guy.

Mr Dean was a great man. He was a great Teacher, mentor. He will truly be missed!

Jeff was a great man I met in the late 1970's. We both have a love for music and live performances!! I always know when Jeff was running production and sound my listening experience was going to be enjoyable!! Jeff was respected by many people in the many areas of his life and not just music. R.I.P. my friend until we meet again at the soundboard or a stage in the the Heavenly world!! Jeff Taylor (JT)

please know you all are in our thoughts and prayers. praying you will feel the Savior's comforting arms around you. Hansel and Jenny Swails

What can we do to help Jill?

My heart breaks to lose a dear friend and colleague. Jeff is one of the finest individuals to live among us-a man of character and integrity who led by example. He will live on in the hearts of those he touched. It was an honor and privilege to work with Jeff backstage for many years-he was more than a sound engineer/technician-he was an artist! Jeff made the music sing! RIP, my dear friend. May Jeff´s memory be for a blessing to all whose lives he touched. My deepest condolences to Jill, Josh, Jordan, Jenalee, and Jeff´s entire family. Bev

One of my favorite teachers, hands down. Loved his excitement and enthusiasm for what he taught and how he made it fun. I was only at Arlington School for one year back in 1989-1990. But I have never forgotten the little info tidbits and funny stories that he shared. (Anyone else have ultraviolet and flesh tone for their school colors?!) I'll be seeing you in the stars Mr. Dean!
