Dean was a 1980 graduate of Amsterdam High School and was employed by Logistics One in Saratoga Springs. He was an avid baseball card collector and was a diehard fan of the New York Mets and the New York Giants. His greatest joys in life, however, were spending time by a fire with his family and trading cards with his close friends Chad, Al, Tony and Lenny.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Betz, Rossi & Bellinger Family Funeral Home, 171 Guy Park Avenue, Amsterdam, NY 12010.
