Dean Antony Italiano

It is with heavy heart that we share the news of Dean Antony Italiano's passing on Nov. 27, 2023. Dean was a Colorado native who loved our mountains. He enjoyed fishing & camping with family ATV's, hiking & metal detecting with his brothers Tony (Meggie) & Sonny (Lindsay).

He graduated from Pomona High School and continued his education at Red Rocks College where he finished his CITC plumbing training, earning his license of Trade. Dean was a beloved member of the RK Mechanical team for nearly two decades, ending his 20 years of service. He began his career in 2003 and will always be remembered for his kind heart and welcoming attitude, both in the workplace and private life. Dean was incredibly proud to work at RK and passionate about the trades and industry. He has positively impacted all those fortunate enough to work alongside him.

Dean comes from a large family of Italiano's (Wheeler) with strong family ties. He leaves behind two daughters Samantha Faye & Anamaria. He is also survived by his parents Dean E. Italiano & Avis C. Italiano (Wheeler), brothers Tony (Meggie) & Sonny (Lindsay), nieces Jadyn & Hannah and numerous other family.

His compassion reminded people that "life is too short", it went along with his enthusiasm to jump on the plane to Disneyworld to spend time with his family! He loved his trip to Alaska fishing for salmon and floating in the rivers. During his vacations he loved his many trips with his daughters.

Dean will be severely missed. His loving funny nature & quick wit kept us on the edge of our chairs. So, when life is hard remember give all your love today, there might not be tomorrow. Children are a gift God gives us; they are not ours to keep. They are borrowed treasures we are entrusted with until God calls them home!

Services will be held Friday December 8th at 1:30, Applewood Baptist 11200 W. 32nd Ave. – Wheat Ridge.
