Robert Jay Dean

Robert, retired from Ethicon/Johnson&Johnson where he was a millwright, and could fix just about everything. He was a diehard Cincinnati Bengals and Reds fan as well as a big fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes. While sports was important him, nothing was more important to him than family. The grandkids were the apple of Robert’s eye, he really enjoyed spoiling them. Robert was a very welcoming person who at one point or another let every member of his family live with him.

He is survived by daughter, Nikole McKnight; sons, Charlie (Chastity) Dean, Chris (Shawnna) Dean, Trevor Dean, and Tanner McKnight; 9 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; sister, Wendy Dean; special nephew, Jerry Johnson, as well and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
