Daniel (Dan) Dean

DEAN Daniel - Dan was born in Dean Settlement, Nova Scotia on November 20, 1947 in his Grandmothers’ house. On June 1, 2022, he was lifted on the wings of the angels to rest in the arms of his creator and his Saviour.
Death had been expected and Dan was fortunate to have his wife, his three children and his sister-in-law by his side for weeks before he died.
Dan is survived by his best friend and wife of 52 years, Christine (O’Regan), and his children whom he treasured: his daughters Lori Dean and her husband Gary Hartman of Mount Carmel, Leanne Dean and her fiancée Ross McDougall of Belleville and son Danny Dean of Windsor; his grandchildren Donovan Dean, Tyler
Hartman and Julia Hartman and two great grandsons, Dustin Dean and Anakin Hartman. Brother-in-law to Denis O’Regan of Princeton and Sister-in-law Maureen Gould of Woodstock.
Dan is also survived by his Mother Minnie Dean (nee Geddes) of Woodstock, sister Linda Dean (John) of Woodstock, brother Stewart Dean (Gail) Woodstock and several nieces and nephews, aunts and cousins in Nova Scotia, Woodstock, Sudbury, Ottawa, Burlington and Calgary. Dan was predeceased by his father, Charlie Dean.
Dan was an ordained minister of the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie and served in his capacity as Deacon at Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Elliot lake ministering to the spiritual needs of parishioners at St Joseph’s General Hospital, St. Joseph’s Manor, Huron Lodge and Hillside Park.
Dan was a Registered Medical Laboratory Technologist, a Registered Microbiology Technologist and a Registered Cytology Technologist. His career began at the Woodstock General Hospital in 1971. In 1981 he became the Manager of Bio- Science Laboratory in Windsor. In 2001, Dan semi- retired and moved with
Christine to Elliot Lake where he finished his career reading cytology smears for Gamma- Dynacare Laboratories. Dan was very involved in his Church, The Knights of Columbus and his community serving on several Boards, associations and committees in various positions in these cities.
