SALEM - Jack Dean, 76, was born in Moorehead, Kentucky on December 22, 1946. He passed away unexpectedly Thursday morning, September 28, 2023, at Salem Regional Medical Center in Salem, Ohio, from an acute cardiac attack with complications from Hypertension, Diabetes, and Dementia.
He served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War.
Jack worked in the steel, pipeline, and railroad industries for years, then he mainly focused on home and automotive repairs… A True "Jack of All Trades." He was always there to lend a helping hand to those in need and could fix or rebuild almost anything.
In his spare time Jack enjoyed playing golf, although he would confess, he was no good at it. He was also a member of the Salem Club, AMVETS and Eagles.
Jack leaves his wife, Rachel E. (Foddrill, Atkins, Worrell) Dean whom he married November 21, 1987, one brother, Jerry Dean and his wife Bev; one nephew, Joe and his family, two nieces, Chelsea and Natalie; one great niece; Brooklyn; two stepdaughters, Beth A. of Alliance, Ohio, and Karin W. of Warren, Ohio; one stepson, Kevin W. of Laredo, Texas; eight step-grandchildren, Ashley, Rebecca, Michael, Kahlia, Damon, Israel, Edward, Elizabeth; four step-great grandchildren, Chloe, Ellie, Mark (MJ), and Preston, as well as MANY Aunts & Uncles and their families in Kentucky.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Emma (Easterling) Dean; his step-grandson, Cory B.; one brother, Eddie Dean; and his first wife, Dorothy (Whittaker) Dean.
A celebration of life for Jack will be held at a later date in the chapel at Green Haven Memorial Gardens in Canfield, Ohio.
