Dean was very involved in the community, supporting numerous local organizations and charities. From 2010 to 2016, Dean served on the board of the United Way of Orange County, serving as Campaign Chair, 2nd Vice Chair, 1st Vice Chair, and Board Chair.
In 2014, he helped create the very first Granger 5K, now held annually and has raised over $70,000 to date. Once his terms on the board expired, he remained an avid supporter.
Memorial contributions will go to United Way of Orange County.
