‎إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون

It is with much sadness that we announce the passing away of Haji Mohammed Hamid Dean. fondly known as Tom Dean. He passed away on Monday the 22nd of Nov, 2021 in Sydney, Australia

He was a director of Shahabud Dean Transport and a pioneering spirit in the formation and early days of Road Transport Authority ( pre cursor to LTA). Together with Manu Koravulavula he was sent to study Transport Industry in Malaysia.

He immigrated to Australia approx 40 years ago, but called Fiji home. He had a distinguished career in Qantas , taking on various roles and retired after approx 30 years of exceptional service to the flying kangaroo.

He was a humble person, always going out of his way to serve and help the poor and the needy. He lived a simple and humble life and charmed everyone with his loving personality. He was a glue that bound everyone together.

Together with his loving wife Hajaan Noorani, he bought up an amazing family, son Niazi and daughter Imrani. He loved and adored his grand children and wore his heart on his sleeves for them.

Sad as it may be , he has left us with nothing but fond memories of his kindness, gentle and humble nature.

We ask that you pray for him and remember him in your kind memories.

It’s with a heavy heart that we wish to announce the passing away of Haji Ayoub Dean.

Haji Ayoub Dean was the chairman of the Shahabud Dean Transport for over 50 years and the pillar and heart of the family and the community.

He taught us the joy of sports and held our hands whilst he taught us to play soccer, hockey, cricket and golf. He was very staunch member and of the Raiwaqa rugby team.

He taught us the value of education and gave us all a pen ( fountain pen off course) and encouraged us to read and write.

He bought us books and magazines to read ( yes there was no internet back then) . He had a fascination for "The Economist" magazine and only now does one realise the importance of this esteemed magazine ( yes he was ahead of his time)

He taught us appreciate culture; the essence of ghazal , the joy in poetry , the elusiveness of sangeet, the subtleness of raag, the wonders of science and the beauty of art.

He taught us to travel , to eat, to venture out , to expand our thinking, to be bold in our vision, to foster our curiosity and never contemplate failure.

He taught us to live a “full life”. A life filled with adventure, art, culture , joy and laughter …. lots and lots of laughter.

Finally and most importantly he taught us the value of family and friendships. Nothing is more important then our relationships with our loved and ones.

Haji Ayoub Dean has finally left us at a youthful age of 94.

We ask that you pray for him, and bless him with your kind memories.
