This page has been created as a celebration of Dean Arthurs who died on 24th February 2026 after a heroic battle against cancer.
It is designed as a space where you can all upload your photos and memories that can be enjoyed by all and which Cecily will have access to forever.
The service will be held at Sedgemoor Crematorium on Saturday 21st March at midday. We have chosen a Saturday so it can be in the style of our wedding, open to all who want to say goodbye to Dean, young and old from near or far. It is a celebration of Dean so “bad” Hawaiian shirts and slogan T-shirt are very much welcome.
If anyone wanted to make a donation Cecily and I would like them to go to St Margaret’s Hospice who cared for Dean with such compassion, kindness and hefty slugs of Baileys in his evening hot chocolate.
After the service you are all welcome to come back to the village where will have a gathering in The Royal Oak, Stoke St Gregory. For an afternoon of reminiscing and laughter and in true eclectic Somerset fashion the Wildmoon Morris group will be in the village Square - which Dean would have found hilarious.

Dean will always be remembered in the annals of family history, having coined the phrase that his knees were ‘medically unsound’. We shall miss you Zorro xxx

The lovely, calm, funny Deano being king of the Machu Pichu mountain. In his colourful shirt. We will miss you Deano, rest in peace, you were snatched away far to soon ❤️🥰
I met Dean at Staffs Uni, studying Product Design. A creative, funny, and easy-going guy. Despite his illness, he surprised me by turning up to my 50th birthday party. It was an emotional reunion and he hadn’t lost any of his charm. Rest easy my friend!

A fine example of Dean's creativity! The Christmas card he produced back in 1996, featuring his friends and indeed himself, delivering baby Jesus some 'perfect pizza' :+)

My dear friend Dean. I will never forget that huge smile, kind heart and fun loving personality. We shared such good times over the years. From Colchester Institute, moving on to Staffordshire University and friends ever since. Sleep tight darling man xxx

It meant a lot to me that Dean and Jo made a special journey to see me, in our 50th year, when I was unable to travel. It was all too brief but a memory I shall treasure.
It is hard think that 30 years have passed since Dean, Jo, Andrew and I were sharing our triangular end of terrace in Stoke. Dean was funny, uniquely talented and enormously generous. I was privileged to call him my friend for all those years.
Our 'tallest' son Dean through the years xx
❤️ Miles of smiles ❤️
A day for hugs when we visited Dean with his amazing Mum and Dad, our lovely friend Hazel and Richard ❤️xxx
A lifetime of fond memories Dean, from barn to barn - or rather the half-finished 'Hausbergplatz' in USA where I got you believing in Santa again by leaving deer poo in the fireplace to your family joys of converting the Wagon House into a beautiful home
Fond memories of our work trip to China
I will always remember such fun times and your smile
My favourite travel buddy, so many onsites in many different locations
The seas weren't always calm, but we had some fun along the way. x
You will always be in our thoughts Dean. Rest in peace mate.
Such a joy to have you as our friend.
Have a peaceful rest Dean. You fought with dignity and courage till the end. Missing you lots buddy.
Words cannot convey how much we will miss the world’s most gentle Viking. Taken far too soon. Rest easy Mr Dean xx Ps all that hair!
Hasta la vista Dean… we shall miss your gentle and calm friendship 💔xxx
Dean, my epic cousin, gone way too soon. You will be hugely missed x
