DEAN: Brian Charles

January 27, 2024 By 9 Condolences

DEAN: Brian Charles

It with great sadness we announce the passing of Brian Charles Dean on January 27th 2024 at Huron Hospice with loved ones by his side.

He will be forever loved and missed by his wife Cheryl Dean, son Christopher Dean (Dalas Woodhouse), and daughter Jennifer Dean (Steven Boric). He also leaves behind his mother Shirley Dean, brothers Andrew Dean and David Dean, and sister Susan Coones. Pre deceased by his father Alan Dean and brother Bob Dean.

He will also be forever missed by all extended family and friends, and the many lives he has touched.

Will forever be remember for his smile, sense of humour, love for his wife and family, his golf game and many more amazing qualities. One thing about Brian is he always looked the best on the golf course as he always said โ€œthe game starts in the closetโ€.

As per his wishes Brian has been cremated and there will be no funeral held. There will be a celebration of life at a later date.

    Such sad news. So many great memories with Brian at Scotch Settlement Golf Club back in the early 90’s and in the years that followed until he relocated to Goderich. We played a lot of golf together. He got his nickname ‘Fuzz’ on a Scotch Settlement members’ road trip to Deerhurst Highlands back then! Brian didn’t drink at all really other than Pepsi……but he may have had a few Fuzzy Navels that day! Not sure if that nickname carried on to his days in Goderich but his golf surely did…..Fuzz didn’t hit it far but he could sure play!! One of the best players from 100 yards in!! Brian and Cheryl had me over for dinner more than a few times in Bradford where we would always end dinner with Cheryl’s amazing Turtle’s cheese cake. I will certainly miss Brian. RIP my friend. Sincere condolences to Cheryl, Chris and Jennifer.

    Have only known Brian the last few years from Sunset Golf Course but do know he was a pleasure to golf with and be around. Man could he putt! oh and sharing his cheese and crackers was a highlight of the round. We will miss his smiling face and sense of humour at the course. Deepest sympathies to the family from the Sunset Golf group!!!

    My sincere condolences to the family. Brian was an amazing supervisor and mentor to work with. Loved getting my mid-term performance reviews on the golf coarse. He will be missed but not forgotten.

    Brian and I golfed together for many years at Bradford Highlands Golf Course and played Mens night together for many years.
    Brian impacted me significantly regarding golf and as a personal friend. I always tried to emulate his natural scoring ability, but as usual Brian would have nothing to do with it and always out played me, especially around and on the greens.
    To Cheryl and the whole Dean family, our deepest condolences and heartfelt love to you. Brian will be deeply missed by all who knew him, on and off the course.
    I will forever remember Brian as a good person and fierce competitor and will always have him in my thoughts while playing the game he truley loved.
    RIP Brother
    Retired Inspector Ryan Carothers
