He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Juanita, and his grandson, Lewis Truman Fellenz.

Dean graduated from Preston High School where he was good at academics and involved in FFA.  He was always a farmer at heart, even though supporting his family often kept him busy with other things.  After high school, he served a mission in the North Central States Mission.  Later he served a mission with Velda in the Brazil Santa Maria Mission. He found joy in serving in the temple and fulfilling his callings in the church.  Over the course of his life, he was always active and willing to serve.
