Dean developed pain in a tooth on the right side of his lower jaw about Christmas-time, 2005. After several months of fighting what was believed to be a persistent infection, cancer was diagnosed on June 13, 2006. The right half of his jaw was removed the following month and he was told he was cancer-free. However, about Christmas-time, 2006, pain returned and a PET scan showed inoperable cancer in his neck. After several months of chemo-therapy, he died peacfully in his Detroit Lakes home at 6:38 PM on March 22.
