David R. Dean Sr.

David R. Dean Sr., 57, of Lynchburg, passed away Monday, Dec. 2, 2024, at the University of Cincinnati Hospital.

He was born May 3, 1967 in Hillsboro, the son of Ralph and Esther (Sams) Dean Pride.

Despite his battle with sickness from an early age, David never allowed it to curb his spirit. His unwavering determination, courage and positivity in the face of adversity were truly inspiring and will remain a beacon of hope and strength for those he has left behind.

An avid outdoorsman, David found immense solace in the tranquility of Mother Nature. Fishing, hunting and playing cards were among his favorite recreational activities. His love for the outdoors was infectious and will continue to live through the stories and experiences that he was always so keen to share.

Above all, David was a devoted family man. A loving son, a caring father and an adored grandpa, his absence will be profoundly felt.

(Cierra Henry) Dean Jr. of Port William; three grandchildren, Leeland, Lilah and Linkin; his mother, Esther (Earl) Dean Pride of Lynchburg; two brothers, Daryl (Shelia) Dean of Hillsboro and Dewi (Cheryl) Dean of Bright, Ind.; and several nieces, nephews and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Ralph Dean; and his sister, Helen Dean.
