Bradley D. Dean

On October 18, 2022, I lost the love of my life, my best friend, my soul mate, my other half. Bradley Dwayne Dean was born August 31, 1970, in Kettering Ohio, to William J. Dean and Betty Jane Dean.  They will both be greeting him at the gates of heaven holding our grand baby, baby Boswell, who he will care for until we join him there.  Although my heart feels broken without him here on earth, Brad and I have built a beautiful life together. 30 years ago, I became Rayanna Marie Dean. He lives on in our two beautiful children, daughter Lynsey Kaye Boswell (Robbi), our son Bradley James Dean (Mia) and our amazing grandson Kaysen Michael Boswell. He will also live on in his Brother William C. Dean, (Tanya), his sister- in-law Tootie (Liam), among so many other nieces, nephews, friends and family members.
We will all ask why? Why him? Why this great man, husband, father, pap, hardest working, honest mechanic, fixer of all things, and friend to all?   The only answer I can think of is, God really needed the best of the best to prepare a place for us all to be together again someday.  He was many things to so many people, he had many best friends, and most aren’t lucky enough to have one. I consider myself the luckiest, most privileged wife ever. There was never a time I doubted his love for me. We knew the day we met 36 years ago we had something special.  God had brought us together for a reason. We will not say goodbye to him, we will say until we meet again. Rayanna Marie Dean loves Bradley Dwayne Dean forever and always.  We will have a memorial to celebrate his life, love, and Humor.    Please join us Sunday October 23, 2022, from 5 PM to 6 PM for visitation and a memorial to follow at 6PM for eulogy and service at Trostel, Chapman, Dunbar& Fraley Funeral Home, New Carlisle Ohio.
