Obituary
Deane Girard Marfone
September 6, 1955- March 3, 2021
Deane passed away after a long battle with Atypical Parkinson’s at the age of 65.
Deane was born in Troy, New York to Patrick and Celia Marfone. They moved to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania when he was one. He went to Upper Merion High School and then on to Lehigh University. He moved to Southern California in the early 80’s but was always just a guy from Philly.
Singing the Lehigh Fight song at the top of his lungs, yelling “Let’s go Flyers” even when they weren’t the team that was playing, and a forever Eagles fan. He was beyond thrilled to see the Superbowl Win and kept saying ” I can’t believe they finally did it”.
Deane was in sales his whole career. He made many friends along the way and always kept in contact with them, asking about their families because Deane was first and foremost a family guy.
He was an amazing husband and father. Many of the friends he made came from coaching his kids on the soccer field, baseball diamond and softball field. If he wasn’t the coach, you always could hear Deane cheering on his kids from the sidelines. He was their number one fan.
He is survived by his wife of thirty years, Chris, his four children – Olivia (29), Isabella (28), Celia (27), and Vincent (25), his brother Patrick Jr. (wife, Linda), and his many nieces, nephews, and friends from coast to coast.

Deane was the absolute life of the party. He had such a great joy of life. Very intentional and present in the moment. He loved being a father and a husband and he exuded that every day in every way. I am so sorry for his passing at an earlier age because he was such a great example of what it meant to be truly alive. I get solace in that fact that he lived life day by day better than most. He enjoyed every single minute of it and it was so very obvious to the rest of us. Deane, I think Heaven’s fun factor just went up a few notches my friend. I am very glad to have known you.

I am so sorry to hear of Dean’s passing. I worked with Dean many years ago at McAfee ( Network Associates). He was my boss and a funny, inspiring and kind man. My thoughts go out to your family.
