Since the site was a working parking lot for businesses, a quick and non-intrusive installation was requested. To do so, the mural was painted off site in our studio during the summer of 2018. Then unexpectedly, Dean passed away. A life with so much vision and hope, taken too early. I was about to call him when I received the phone call of his passing. What an opportunity missed. Shortly after, the day of Dean's funeral service, was the day that we began installing "WR 1850." We wanted to go to his service, but felt the best way to pay our respects and honor him and his vocation was to hang the mural on site. It was very powerful and special to be one of the contributing artists of Dean's Way to hang the mural the day we celebrated his life and contributions. The installation took four days, but his influence and passion will live on and inspire many in the community beyond the few small city blocks he set out to encourage.
