Dean Michael Kassik was born to Laura (Bigelow) Kassik and Dean Albert Kassik on June 9, 1990 in Geneva, NE. He passed away on June 20, 2017 in Milligan, Nebraska at the young age of 27. Dean Michael was so very loved and from the very beginning has always been the center of his parent's and sister's world. He was always very high spirited and from a young age he had an eye for adventure and was gifted with extreme intelligence. Deanie loved more than anything to dance, was the life of the party most times, and enjoyed cracking jokes and making people laugh. Dean went through school with a 4.0 and was the valedictorian of his class. He participated in all four sports during all four years of his high school career. He was on the speech team, quiz bowl, class play, class officer (president of his class) and earned high honors each year. Upon graduation he attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and was a semester away from graduating with his Accounting degree. Deanie had a very tender heart. He loved his nieces very much and they brought so much joy to his life. He truly enjoyed spending time with them and would often refer to them as "his five girls". He simply adored his two sisters, and would often say how lucky he was to rely on both of them for lifes advice throughout his years. Deanie idolized his father and admired his strong work ethic. Deanie's first true love was, of course, his mom, Laura. Dean recently learned how to make moms signature "meatloaf", and was excited to have more cooking lessons. Deanie worked at Kassik Milling, the family business, throughout his teen years, and majority of his adult life. He tried very hard to accomplish all tasks he was given and took so much pride in helping his Dad and Uncle Mike "run" Kassik Milling-always saying how some day he was gonna take over and make his father proud. Deanie struggled with mental illness. He found the Lord, and became deeply devoted to Christ, praying many times throughout the day, and attending church every Sunday. He encouraged others to pray with him and talk about Christ. He often spoke of gods grace and mercy and how he was destined for Heaven-truly a walking angel on this earth. Dean Michael Kassik was preceded in death by His grandparents Leonard Kassik and Henry & Roma Bigelow. He is survived by his parents Laura & Dean Kassik: sisters and brother-in-law Abbey Kassik, Ashley & Steven Havel; Grandmother Arlene Kassik; nieces Ava, Lilly, Livia, Kora, and Laney; and a host of Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and friends.
