Feb 18th 2007, an hour after I found out I was pregnant with Aven, Dean dropped my husband, Chris off after an afternoon of quadding. I passed Dean in our back alley and told him I was pregnant, he was the first person I told...he was so excited.
Dean and Christina where also trying to have a baby and were engaged, they were a beautiful couple!
Chris & I decided on our baby girls name, Aven on June 4th, no middle name was chosen. We went though every name...grandparents & great grand parents names and nothing felt right, so we decided on Aven Alexander...no middle name!
How could we have known that 5 days later through tragic circumstances our daughters middle name would be chosen!
One year ago on June 8th 2007, I was sitting eating Panago pizza with my sister...we were both pregnant. My husband Chris had decided to go on a overnight quadding trip with our good friend & quadding buddy Dean.
The next morning my husband called with the horrible news...."Dean was in an accident, it doesn't look good!"
Those 2 days after the accident was unbearable for us. Watching his fiance and parents, (he was an only child) made us fall apart even more!
On this day last year, June 11th 2007 Dean Francis MacIsaac passed away...
I have known Dean since grade 6 . I have so many memories of him, all of them funny!
I know that everyone says this but...you couldn't have known a better guy. He was always happy, funny...a sweet heart. Everything he said would always make you laugh....."Nah by" (Newfie saying)
Oh...and Three Doors Down, Kryptonite ,will always remind me of all of us @ Ben's!
Aven Dean Alexander.....She will grow up knowing that she was named after a man who was kind, loving, respected, hardworking, funny......I could go on forever...but most of all missed!
We Love You & miss you so much...

What an emotional time it must have been when you were carrying Aven. She's going to be so proud to carry on a name that means so much. I'm so sorry for the loss of such an important friend to your family. Hugs to you!
What a suiting name. I read a book once that said the ideal name is one that is equal parts unique to the child and originating from within that family's legacy. Basedon those criteria, Aven Dean sounds ~perfect~
