Dean moved to Crane from Big Spring in 1956 and began his career in the oilfield with Well Service Company of Crane. His kindness and endless generosity touched the lives of all who knew him. To Dean, there were no strangers in the world - only friends he hadn't met. He derived joy from his family, friends, and his relationship with God. He was a member of the First United Pentecostal Church of Odessa.
