David A. Dean, passed away on February 5, 2026, at the age of 72. Beloved husband of Laura (nee Bemer) for 50 years; devoted father of Nicole Thome (Nick) and Stacey Dean-Sioss (James); cherished papa of Liam, Adelynne and Sophia; dear son of the late Shirley Seaman (Jack) and George Dean (Mary); caring brother, uncle and friend of many.
David was a meat cutter for Giant Eagle, and retired after 45 years. He loved gardening, had a hearty appreciation for good food, and seemed able to fix just about anything. He found special joy in building birdhouses with his granddaughters and was, without question, Liam's proudest and most devoted fan.
