Dean Young
Dean Donald Young and Paula were married March 5, 1983, in Wisconsin and moved to South Dakota in 1992.
Dean had a wonderful career with the U.S. Forest Service that brought his family to the Black Hills and made them all proud.
He loved the outdoors and passed the passion on to his sons. Hunting and fishing trips were never really about the harvest, only the experience. A great sense of humor afforded everyone he saw a big smile and laugh.
As a retired man he enjoyed spending time with the neighbors and helping whoever he could. He was an honorable man, and to honor his wishes, there will be no services. As his granddaughter Everly says, “We will just have to keep him in our heart now.” He will be greatly missed by many.
Dean, of Custer, S.D., passed away Nov. 30, 2020, at his residence in Custer. He was 62.
He is survived by his wife, Paula Young; sons, Cody (Nicole) Young, and Tyler (Sarah) Young; brother, David (Wendy) Young; and two granddaughters, Hazel and Everly (Cody and Nicole’s children.)
Memorials may be sent to: 25412 Sidney Park Road, Custer, SD 57747.
Arrangements have been placed in the care of Chamberlain McColley’s Funeral Home in Custer.
