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.

What a guy he was…hilarious to say the least “you smooth talker you” was one of his favorites…among many others.
It’s sad for us seniors now to see the passing of more and more of our generation…especially the ones that were the most entertaining and as boomers and witnesses of the 80’s we had the most fun…by far.
Say hello for us all up there Dean.
“Deany weany” you will always be a special friend in this life and next. Save me a spot at your table….
