Dean was an honorable man who loved the Lord, loved his family with all his heart, and loved our country. He would not hesitate to fight to defend either.  He was a fair, generous and caring man.  He loved to share his knowledge with young people, especially about hunting and fishing, both of which he spent much of his time doing.  His willingness to give valuable advice and guidance will be remembered by all who knew and loved him.
