Sometime after Dean died, I found a folder on his computer entitled: KEEP IT SIMPLE AND NEVER QUIT! The folder contained 3 Word doc files created one year and one month before he succumbed to a drug overdose. After reading the Word docs I realized Dean was a very organized and well thought out individual in spite of the conflicted life he led. The one Word doc was a simple list of bullet points he named: GOALS.doc. Dean used the bulleted list as a mind map guide for the next Word doc: SUCCESS PROGRAM.doc. I am including Dean’s road map for SUCCESS below as a memorial to Dean and people like Dean that suffer from drug addiction that want to be free of it but cannot defeat the demons that keep them from SUCCESS.

SUCCESS PROGRAM

Step One: Find job (while job searching begin workout routine)

Step Two: Start 5 weeks off pre-training with supplements
10 days rest then start with 4 weeks of “Heavy” testosterone and acquire all supplements to stay “healthy”

Step Three: Open a savings and checking account

Step Four: Sign up at Cy-Fair College for 6 credit hours

Step Five: Save enough money for down payment

Step Six: Purchase a nice car and figure the finance

Step Seven: Fall semester find apartment in Cy-Fair and sign up for 12 credit hours at Cy-Fair college

Step Eight: Meet with navy recruiters to talk about contract
