It is with great sadness that we announce that our dear brother, Dean passed away peacefully in Victoria on November 27th, 2022. Predeceased by his Mom, Helen Hoff and survived by his brothers, Barry, Brant & Clayton, his sister Heather, sister-in-law Sandra and his many & much loved nieces, nephews, & recently a grandnephew.
Dean will be so greatly missed, in particular because of his sharp wit and wicked sense of humour. Dean talked to everyone and took an interest in what they had to say and was always prepared to make you laugh. He was affectionately known as the Mayor of Allbay Road in Sidney. Gone far too soon, we suspect he is up there now teasing the angels and giving them a run for their money as only he could do! Dean loved the ocean and loved being outdoors, he was a born salesman & in fact, this was his chosen lifelong career.
A Celebration of Life is planned to be held in the spring of 2023, details will follow.
In lieu of flowers, kindly donate in Dean’s name to the Canadian Cancer Society https://cancer.ca
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Our sincere condolences to the entire Hoff family on the loss of a dear brother and friend.
Commiserations to family and extended family members on the loss of Dean. I remember him well from my days in Victoria.
So sad,….. So many fond memories. The entire room of any particular gathering would LIGHT up when Dean walked through the door.
Dean’s wit, his joy, his very infectious camaraderie would embrace any given mood in the form of a welcome distraction.
I can only pray and believe that our Lord is in need of Dean now. If only to shed his LIGHT over the darkness that seems to shadow so many us in this World today.
You WILL be missed, my brother. There is comfort though. Comfort in the thought that you’ll be back in Helen’s arms while sipping a nice cup of hot tea.
Rest in Peace. And thoughts and prayers to ALL the Hoff’s. Miss you !
❤️
My heart breaks for all who knew and loved Dean. I will never forget his beautiful twinkling eyes and his laughter that was so contagious. Rest in peace Dean, you will be so missed❤️
Dean was an amazing and loyal friend. He was sooo funny. Dean could find the humour in any situation. I loved him. I was looking forward to reconnecting with him again. I’m so sad. I’ll miss you forever.
Hey Beaner, thanks for the laughs!

So sorry to hear of Deans passing, I have have the privilege of knowing Dean and working with him on and off since 2003.
He was always a compassionate caring man, who enjoyed people, sales and the outdoors.
Gone but never forgotten.
