Larry Dean
December 31, 1969 — August 31, 2020
Larry Glennon Dean, 72, of Deltaville died at home with his wife and son nearby on Monday, August 31, 2020.
He was predeceased by his parents, Thomas Lonnie Dean and LaFay Colquitt Dean; and a sister, Irene Dean Lee, all of Oklahoma. He is survived by his wife, Carter Norton Dean, of Deltaville; his son, Anderson Colquitt Dean; daughter-in-law, Alix; and two adored granddaughters, Helen and Ruth, all of Santa Fe, N.M.; and his sister, Lorene Dean Bridges of Blanchard, OK.
Larry Dean grew up in Blanchard, OK, where he loved to roam a neighboring field watching small mammals and reptiles and finding old buffalo wallows. He attended Oklahoma State University before joining the U.S. Army, serving in Vietnam and in Germany. He stayed in Germany after discharge from the service because he loved the country and following the Gran Prix circuit all over Europe.
He returned to live in New Orleans, where he and Carter met. His career from then on was in hi-fi audio sales and marketing. Music was his passion. He also loved being on the open water of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. He enjoyed making wonderful food on his Big Green Egg, working with wood, volunteering at the Deltaville Maritime Museum, spending time with his dogs, reading Ernest Hemingway, Kurt Vonnegut and physics; communicating with old Army friends on Facebook; and being Pop Pop to two beautiful grand-girls.
A uniquely kind and honest man, Larry Dean remains in the memories of those who loved him.
