He latter attended Northern Arizona University and also the University of Alaska. He relocated to Arizona, settling in Mesa, Ariz.

Dean had a passion for outdoors, hunting, fishing and scuba diving. His family and friends will always remember Dean for his love and loyalty to others in their time of need. His sense of humor and quick wit make him quite a charmer. Over the course of the short life he lived he had jobs that took him from Alaska as a bear guard to the South Pacific.
