Support Dino's Family in Their Time of Grief

Hello, I’m Deane’s (Dino’s) sister, Brooke.

As many of you know Dino was reported missing Friday, January 3 rd . I received a phone call from

the Toms River police department on Jan 10 th asking if I’ve heard from him. His car was

abandoned at the Shelter Cove Park with some belongings inside, including his guitar. I was very

concerned because anyone who knows Dino also knows he’d never leave his guitar in the back

seat of his car. Music was Dino’s passion and what kept him going. I immediately filed a missing

persons report and reached out on social media hoping someone had seen or heard from him.

Tragically, on Sunday, January 12 th an officer knocked on my door and told me Dino was gone.

His body had been recovered from the water at Shelter Cove Park.

We are broken.

I cannot thank everyone enough for their support in the search for Dino. I wish Dino could’ve

seen how his community came together searching for him, how much everyone cared, and how

loved he truly was. Dino would want everyone to remember the good times you had with him, so

please share your memories and photos with all of us.

At this time, we are asking for help from all of you so we can give Dino the sendoff he deserves.

We have funeral services to provide and Dino has 3 siblings in California that need help with

travel costs. As everyone knows no donation is too small, so please donate if you can. I’ll post

updates as arrangements are made.

A sincere thank you from all of us.
