In memory of Dean Riddle 1964-1997

Words can't begin to describe how I feel about the loss of my best Friend Dean Riddle, shortly after he went missing on Wednesday morning, 6th August 1997 from his Marangaroo home in Perth, Western Australia. Tragically, dean took his own life, and was discovered in his four wheel drive deep in bushland north of Yanchep, on Thursday 25th September 1997. The loss of Dean will effect my life forever, as I had spent 20 years as his friend.

Although I am deeply disturbed by the loss of Dean, my sorrow is insignificant compared to the pain that his widow Fiona, his brother Ed, his sister, and his mother Adeline, have had to endure.

Dean's life had touched the hearts of more people than he ever knew, and will be deeply missed by everyone, including Fiona's family, his DOLA work colleagues, his friends from the Gym, his old school mates from Scarborough Senior high school, and everyone who used to go motorbike riding or Four wheel driving with him. All of our lives were made that much better by his presence.

I have erected a cross at the peaceful location where Dean chose to pass on. Should anyone feel the need to visit this site, then I would be happy to take them there.

Dean's brother Ed has asked me to thank everyone who participated in the exhaustive searches by Four wheel drive that were carried out to try to find Dean.

We will never know why Dean has left us. Dean, I will miss you forever. May you rest in peace.
