“Dean”, as he was known to his siblings, was an avid reader. He was passionate about history and world politics. He was even known to read technical textbooks for fun.  Dean was as brilliant as they come.

Born on June 23, 1956 in Wabash, Indiana to David Leroy and Nellie May, David Dean’s early years were spent enjoying incredible success in athletics and music, winning athletic awards and playing the trumpet at a level few can attain.

He was married to Victoria Lynn Ralph when they had a son, David Christopher.  He spent the last 15 years of his life married to his sweetheart, Elena Victorovna Iliana Hunn, who’s son Anton Victorovich Ilin also became a beloved son. He and Elena enjoyed traveling and visited countless world destinations. They also had many beloved pets during their time together.
