April 9, 1956 – January 6, 2026
Gregory Dean passed away peacefully after putting up a strong and courageous fight. In the end, he let his loved ones know he was ready to rest. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but he now joins his parents in eternal peace.
Gregory was born April 9, 1956, to the late Nelda Dean and Douglas Dean. He was a beloved brother to Carl Dean and Wayne Dean. He leaves behind his loving wife, Doris Dean, and his stepson, Brad Smith. He is lovingly survived by his daughter, Angie Filliol, and his granddaughters, Katelyn Vicars and Kaylee Winland, who brought him great pride and joy.
Gregory was a simple man who found happiness in the comfort of his home with his wife by his side. He enjoyed spending his time watching television, especially a good western, bull riding, and his favorite truck driving show, Ice Road Truckers. A truck driver his entire life, Gregory truly loved the road and took pride in his work. He especially cherished his Ford Ranger, which he was very proud of.
Gregory lived life his way—quietly and with appreciation for the simple things. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
