Was saddened when we heard that Dean had passed. We both had Dean in our Ceramics classes at Southwestern Community College for seven years. Dean had a dream of making ceramic flower pots for his brothers nursery. He had a great sense of humor. we will miss him.

Dean was my friend, and I wrote the below on my Facebook page May 3rd.
I found out yesterday that I lost a good friend of thirty five years. He taught me so much about friendship. He was quite the individual, one of the smartest and kindest men I know, but hid it well beneath his broken heart, and messy exterior. If you found your way into his life then you were given a lesson on trust, and true friendship. And if you met him you may know what I mean. He brought out either the worst or best of you. He was an adventurer, a free soul, and artist. His pottery was very unique, and I'm blessed to have some. His cooking; well let's just say he always wanted to contribute, and we can all appreciate him for that. If he knew you he liked to give gifts, but the one gift I have from him was his friendship. Dean I'll miss you till I see you in heaven. Dean died in his home in Lakeside, Oregon 4-24-17. He was not alone at the time, he was with his friend Susie.
R.I.P. Dean Metcalf Frisbee, 1956-2017

Dean was my friend, and I miss him every much. We will miss him on the Holiday's as he spent many with us, he missed few Christmas's with us over the last 25 years +. Dean was uncle to my children, brother to Denise and I. My condolences to Robert, Ann, and Pete, and family members.

I met Dean only once- two days before he made his journey to the other side. Ann and I had dinner with him at a seafood restaurant overlooking an ocean inlet in Reedsport. He was feeling upbeat and glad to be with us. He was thinking of his friend, Susie, and wanting to take a dinner back to her. That concern for his companion impressed upon me Dean's inner quality of caring. Upon leaving the restaurant, he thanked us for the evening and expressed his gratitude by shaking my hand and giving Ann a lasting memory with a brother to sister hug.

In some ways Dean is not gone. He is still remembered.

Message from Katherine

Dear Ann,
It's one thing having your parents depart, but when a brother shuffles off this mortal coil, that's life perspective adjusting. My thoughts and love are with you at this time of reflection. Any time you'd like to chat I'm just a sky train and a short walk away. 💕💕💕

Message from Ann Naymie

My wise wonderful friend, thank you for your thoughts and caring. You would have enjoyed Dean.

Message from Abbe Bloodworth Blauser

Message from Ann Naymie

Dearest Grania, thank you for your reassuring and compassionate thoughts about Dean, his time on earth and his time in the spiritual world. I do imagine my Dad, who died in July, 2015, sitting somewhere and Dean walks up to him. "Hi, Dad". "Dean, what are you doing here?" I can't help but smile. Hugs, Ann

Message from Dwight Morrow

Dean was definitely part of the fabric of life, from kindergarten all the way through the last class reunion he attended. He is missed. God bless you, my friend.

Message from Ann Naymie

Hello, Dwight. Your words are so appreciated. Dean was a unique man with special qualities and your recollections about him mean a lot.

I am planning a memorial service for July 29 or 30, in Portland or Lake Oswego, at a casual tavern. I am hoping you can join us.

Best, Ann

Dean had such a sweet soul. I had a nice conversation with him at our 40th high school reunion and it was nice catching up with him. Dean brought tomatoes from his garden to the reunion that he shared with several of us. I went to school with Dean from kindergarten, at Riverdale, through high school, at Lake Oswego and I remember also taking skiing lessons with him at the Riverdale Ski School. May you rest in peace Dean and wishing the best for all of your family!

Message from Ann Naymie

Hello, Amy. Your words and recollections are so appreciated. He was such an interesting sweet man and I can tell he felt that he could be himself with you. I am planning a memorial for July 29 or 30. In Portland or Lake Oswego at a casual tavern. I am hoping you can join us.

Best, Ann

Message from Don McGraw

We will all miss Dean. He was part of our neighborhood gang that grew up together, caused mischief, had great memories, and we spent many hours together. He was a creative person and adventurous. I have not seen Dean much the last 10-15 years, but will always remember the years of our youth.

Dean rest in Peace.

Message from Ann Naymie

Thank you, Don for these words and memories. So nicely said. He was quite an individual. I am planning a memorial for July 29 or 30. I am hoping you can join us. At a casual tavern in Portland. I live in Canada so I need to do some research to find a good location. Best, Ann

Message from Katrina Lofgren Vidal

I'm sorry to hear that Dean has died. He was a part of the Riverdale School community and we went back to first grade sharing many classes together. I looked forward to seeing him at reunions and missed seeing him at the last one. I want the family to know that they are in my prayers.

Message from Ann Naymie

Thank you for these kind words, Katrina. Much appreciated.

Message from David Jarman

Dean was a friend since we were 4 years old. Grew up skiing and playing tennis with Dean. We would camp, hike and fly fish. Dean was very creative. We have a number of ceramic pieces that he made in our house. Over the years Dean would stop by dinner. Our kids grew up with many dinners with Dean. He would always bring them a little toy when they were young. They are both sad to hear of Deans death. Rest In Peace, Dean. Thanks for some great times and memories.

Message from Ann Naymie

I loved reading this David. Dean was so unique in his way of participating and sharing of himself. Your words really captured this. My children have a special spot in their hearts for Uncle Dean. I am planning a memorial for Dean for July 29 or 30. It will be in Portland. I am looking for a relaxed tavern atmosphere. I am hoping you can join us. Best, Ann
