Dean also worked painting homes and commercial businesses in the local community. Dean was united in marriage to Tina Phillips on June 4, 2005 in Alden, Iowa. The couple made their home in Dows. Dean enjoyed life and was forever the jokester. He loved spending time with his wife, Tina and his sons, Scott and Brian. However, his greatest source of joy came from spending time with his two grandchildren, Damon and Savannah Fouts, whom he adored. He cherished his grandchildren and the time he was able to spend with them. Dean loved cruising with Tina in his convertible, be it through parks or just around town. He was an accomplished and skilled outdoorsman who passed on his joy of hunting and fishing to his sons.
