Dean Manty

Fiance' that loved me so much

What Dean was like

Dean was the best guy when he was sober. When he was intoxicated, he was a totally different guy. He tried so many times to stop drinking but unfortunately passed away after a long struggle with alcohol addiction.

Fondest memories of Dean

I have many favorite memories of him. Fishing in our canoe was always so fun! And one memory I will always remember is how much he loved me. He loved me so much & was always so afraid of losing me because of his alcohol addiction. It was very difficult at times, and I often felt overwhelmed, but I continued to care for him and support him through it. I did everything I could to support him in staying sober. It always made me sad because his doctors had warned him about the serious impact of his drinking.

How Dean will be missed

I miss everything about him when he was sober. Especially his love for me.
