Tribute to Dean Motsinger

I will also miss Dean....thoughts, prayers and condolences to his family.
 
Dean was a very close friend of mine and i will miss all the great times we have had at the bars and the races together .Kent ,Stacie and myself just left his mom and dads home. When we get info on the arangements we will post it.. Deans dad plans on rebuilding the latemodel as if it were race ready a a tribute to Dean... Kent and I have decided to do the 50 allied sportsman car in the Motsinger black and orange paint scheme for the 2006 racing season...Dean has taught me alot in the 12 years we have been friends and im glad i came to know him on a family level,he was like a big brother to me.... He will be missed by a lot of people... But dont morn his death, Go out and have a Bud Light and watch a race that is what he would want!!!

GOD speed in the 44 C.J. Rayburn brother
 
Dizzy where do I begin??? You were one of a kind my freind there is no one else like you. It hasen't quite set in to all of us yet but we love you and will miss you. Carol and Leonard your in our thoughts and prayers. We love you all!!!
 
I really don't know what to say or how to do it. I recieved a message from Dean last night as he was walking Northbound I-55. As many of you know, I am carrying his son with only 8 weeks left to go. He called me at 2:39 am and I tried to call back at 3:19 am and it went straight to his voicemail. In between that time, is supposedly when this took place.

Dean was Dean, one of a kind. He loved racing, EVERYTHING about it. He touched many people's lives in many different ways. He thought no one cared, but just look around..... I'm still trying to debate on what lesson/ purpose is exactly supposed to be obtained from this. Well, I guess that I will have my son, fatherless now, but I have him.

It will either be later this evening, or more like tomorrow when we find out the arrangements. If someone else doesn't put them on here, I will. I went down to farmington this morning, and no one is taking it well. I know the "Motsingers" would appreciate everyone's kind thoughts. I don't know what else to say... if anyone has anything to pass on to the family I can do so. My number is 1-618-334-5460. Thank you to everyone.

Why?

I'm sure there are MANY, MANY people out there who are asking themselves that very question. Why? Why did this happen? What could I have done differently? So many questions with little to no answers. Like some have posted, they weren't Dean's best friend and they had their differences with him, but they still knew he had a good heart and genuinely cared about people (especially his friends and family). When I got the message EARLY this morning, I didn't know what to say. Sure, Dean and I had our disagreements and I liked to hassle him and give him a hard way to go, but he and I still had our share of laughs and long talks. He could make me so mad in one sentence and make me laugh in the next. He had a heart full of love for racing, but more than that, he loved being a Daddy. Dean Motsinger will NEVER be forgotten and he will live on in the lives of many.....with his family and the people he helped out in racing.

His family will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with all of them in this difficult time of loss. It's not easy, but He'll give you the strength. Like Shannon said in his post, it won't be the same driving by his shop and not seeing him out there working on a racecar or some other project. I look forward to seeing Leonard have the #44 car as a tribute to Dean.
 
i am speechlees about this i meet dean in the chat and we allways gave each other a hard time but wow! i cant belive it thoughts and praye5rs to the familys and to cassie
 
Dean

Dean was a big help to us anytime we needed it and we owe a lot to him. Cassie, his children,family and friends will miss him for sure. Dean showed geniune interest in my sons racing and allways had some positive advice and encouragement. Thats the Dean we came to know. God bless his family and friends. Jon Paul Reando and family
 
all the potter motorsports cars will run a decal with the number 44 and a HALO over the top of it in the 06 season as a tribute to dean motsinger,that is the least i can do for the help he gave us...

Our thoughts and prayers for the Motsinger family. I did'nt know Dean, but checked out his shop every time I drove by to try to get a look at his car, as this family has been a big part of racing for so many years.
 
This Is Very Sad News. My Heart Goes Out To Dean's Family And Friends. God Bless Them All.

I Wasn't Really Friends With Dean. Just A Freindly Aquaintance I Guess You'd Say. I've Talked With Him Here And There At The Track. Like Has Been Said, I Didn't Always Agree With Him. But He Was A Man With Definite Opinions. And Wasn't Afraid To Let Them Be Known. You Have To Respect A Man For That.

Godspeed Dean!

R.i.p.
 
Thoughts and prayer go out to everyone affected by this tragic accident. I never meet Dean but heard very good things about him and he will be deeply missed. If anyone does "In memory" stickers for the cars for next year please post something and i will be more than happy to pay tribute to him with that.
