Dean Bellamy Obituary

Dean, age 47, was lifted up into the arms of our heavenly Father on March 7, 2017. Dean was born and raised in Spokane, WA where he graduated from North Central High School and attended University of Washington where he earned a BA in finance and economics. After working for a year in Seattle, Dean missed his hometown and moved back to Spokane where he worked for American West Bank as commercial loan officer. In 2006 he became a co-founder and the Executive Vice President of River Bank. He was a loving son, father, brother, and uncle. He continued to be an avid Husky fan always sporting the purple and gold. He also loved golfing, fishing, and photography. Survivors include his parents Al & Carmon Bellamy, daughters Brooke Bellamy and Brenna Bellamy, sister Julie (Tim) Leliefeld, and nephew Hunter Leliefeld. A Rosary service will be Thursday, March 30, 2017 @ 7 pm followed by a funeral service Friday, March 31, 2017 @ 10 am both at St. Thomas Moore Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be given to Shriners Hospital of Spokane.
