To the Collmann Family: I never had the pleasure of meeting Dean, but I know Josh from the UT days. Josh has been a blessing in helping me through my father's passing.

I read over Dean's life a few times, and the parallels between him and Josh are incredible. It helped me understand why Josh was so kind to everyone he met, energetic, always had a smile on his face, and could easily put a smile on others. I can only imagine how proud Dean was to raise a person like Josh, and how much the family misses Dean.

With Love,

I just now heard of the passing of my dear friend for the last 50 years. Dean was so full of intelligence, wit, humor and was an outstanding athlete. As a fou nding member of the "Chain Gang", he contributed greatly to the group infamous success. He could catch any football thrown his way. I still have his number 88 Round Rock Dragons jersey that he accidentally left at my house 40 years ago. His family was so stable and it showed in his accomplishments in life. He one was truly one of a kind and I will carry him in my heart forever.

I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Losing a lifelong friend is deeply painful, especially one who was a devoted father and husband. Dean’s legacy is the wonderfully talented and compassionate family that he leaves behind.

God Bless Dean and the Collmann family.
