Obituary for Dean Fredrick Mank

It is with great sadness that the family of the late Dean Mank announces his peaceful passing from his temporary home to his eternal home on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, at 6:15 p.m. at Ajax Pickering Hospital.

Dean was born on December 6, 1968, in Vancouver to John and Joan Mank. He attended school at St. Andrew’s College in Aurora. A beautiful, blonde-haired, dimpled baby boy, Dean was deeply loved by his family and friends, and he loved them in return. At the age of 25, he was rendered a quadriplegic due to a car accident, yet he lived life to the fullest despite his limitations and cherished his home in Port Perry. He endured much pain in his last few years and spent three weeks in the ICU at Ajax Pickering Hospital before his passing. Saying he will be missed is an understatement—Dean, you couldn’t have been loved more, Sweetheart.

Dean leaves to mourn his loving parents, John and Joan, as well as his oldest brother Tim, youngest brother Todd, and sister-in-law Rachel.
