John Stephen Dees

July 31, 1950 — October 17, 2024

Gulfport, MS

John Dees, a kind and compassionate soul, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of quiet generosity and heartfelt love for his family and friends. A man who preferred the comfort of his own space, John lived life on his own terms, embracing independence and solitude while remaining deeply connected to those he cherished.

An avid reader and passionate amateur writer, John found joy in crafting fairy tales and exploring the worlds of his imagination. His love for stories was a reflection of his gentle spirit and his ability to see magic in the everyday. Though he stayed to himself, those who knew him were touched by his thoughtful nature and the depth of his caring heart.

John was a devout Christian who carried his faith quietly but firmly throughout his life, and looked forward to being with Christ. He once owned and operated a pest control business, serving his community with the same dedication and integrity that defined his personal life. He was a homebody at heart, happiest when surrounded by the things and people he loved, especially his beloved grandchild, with whom he spent many precious moments.

His love for animals further highlighted his kind and compassionate nature, as he cared deeply for all creatures. John’s generosity extended beyond material things; he gave of his time, his thoughts, and his love in ways that truly mattered.

In his passing, John leaves behind a family who will forever treasure the quiet strength and warmth he brought into their lives. Though he lived quietly, his impact will resonate deeply in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him.

John was preceded by his parents, Harry and Audry Dees, and his brother, Gregory Dees. Left to cherish his memories is his loving wife, Robin Dees; son, Sean Dees; daughter in law, Celeste Rose; daughter, Rose Marie Quijano; son in law Tony Quijano, and one grandson, Briar Antohny Quijano. Trinity Funeral Services is honored to serve the Dees Family and ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers during these difficult times.
