DEAN HULTGREN

DEAN HULTGREN With hearts full of love and hope in Christ, Dean went home to be with the Lord on a peaceful morning October 27, 2025, at his home in Pharr, Texas. For those who didn't know, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September. Dean was a man of faith, strength, and love. He taught us kindness, hard work, and what it means to trust God in every circumstance. He was always busy - whether working on a project at home or helping a friend - and he truly lived life to the fullest. His life was a testimony to these values and his legacy lives on in all of us. Dean is survived by his wife, Patti; daughters Ann (Jay) Arras and Wendy (Bryan) Wasson; Patti's children Morgan (Justin) Iverson and Adam (Julie) Runmark; and his beloved grandchildren Sloan, Charley, Palmer, Sam, Harper, Marais, Remi, Isle, and Wynonna. He is preceded in death by his parents, Harland and Lois Hultgren; and his first wife, Lora Hultgren. A celebration of life will be held on January 24, 2026, at Bloomington Living Hope Church.
