Edward R. Dean, II, age 59, went home on Sunday, April 9, 2023. He was born August 18, 1963, to Edward R. Dean in Cleveland, Ohio. Edward was a Scoutmaster for Troop 502 in Valley City; he loved the outdoors. Some also knew him as a 'Trekke.' Edward was good to every person he met, until you gave him a reason not to be good.  He will certainly be missed by all who knew him.

Left to celebrate Edward's life are his loving children, Brent, Charlie, Maddie, Joey, Molly, Henry, Cheryl, Eric, and Scott; his nephews, Draven, Jayden, Adam, Ryan and Patrick; his great niece and nephews, Sean, Liam and Cassie; his brothers, Verdi (Angela Marie) Adams and William (Lori) Dean; and many extended family and friends. Edward is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Norita (nee Fallert) and his daughter, Joy.

A Celebration of Life for Ed will take place Monday, April 17, 2023, at 5:30 pm at the Brunswick VFW Post #9520, located at 1439 S. Carpenter Rd, Brunswick.
