Dean was born on February 29, 1936, to Clyde and Lillian Allen in Sharon, MS. He served in the Korean War with the United States Army.

He loved to hunt, fish, but above all, he loved God. Dean was a jolly jokester and the epitome of a dad joke. To know him was to love him. Dean was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. He will truly be missed.
