David Dean Obituary as posted to
Facebook by his daughter, Becky (Dean) Fletcher.
Due to current social gathering limitations we are posting Dad's Obituary / Bulletin / Service information below.
David Gary Dean, 77, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on April 16, 2020. He passed because of complications due to a long battle with Lymphoma but will always be remembered for his fighting spirit. Dave loved life and always had a positive attitude. He enjoyed the devotion of his family and the respect and love of many friends and neighbors.
Dave was born on March 2nd, 1943 and raised on a farm in the Russell, Iowa area. Dave met and married Roena 57 years ago. They celebrated life together and raised their daughters in Norwalk, Iowa. Dave was a salesman for Zep Manufacturing and retired after 42 years.
Dave was a Mason, a member of the Za-Ga-Zig Shrine and the Royal Order of Jesters. Dave was a kind, faithful and generous man. He spent many years volunteering his time and talents in their Church, the Women’s Violence Shelter and the Shrine. Dave enjoyed many years raising horses, restoring hot rods, flying his plane and traveling the world with his wife. Their favorite destination was South Padre Island where they celebrated many sunsets with dear friends. Dave had an adventurous spirit and his family will remember moments spent together that included skydiving, spelunking, ziplining, driving his ATV in the mountains and hunting. Each moment together was considered a blessing.
Dave will be deeply missed by his loving wife Roena, children, Mindy (Will) Alitz and Becky (Dave) Fletcher; granddaughter Samantha (John) Finneseth, grandsons, Tyler Alitz, Vance (Courtney) Fletcher and Chase Fletcher; great grandchildren Eric and Olivia Finneseth and his nieces and nephew. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister.
