Dean was born in Claypool on March 13, 1939, to Merle L. and Elene E. Hill Shively. He attended Warsaw High School and graduated with the class of 1958. While in school he played basketball, ran cross country and track, and still holds a track record to this day.
In 1960, Dean joined the Army National Guard and served from 1960-1966. He later attended IT&T Technical College to become an electrical technician.
On June 16, 1962, in Warsaw, Dean married the former Martha J. Anderson, the love of his life. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was a role model to his family and enjoyed the company of those closest to him. He will be dearly missed by his children and grandchildren.
He worked for Northern Indiana Public Service Co. at the Wheatfield generating plant (Shafer Station) for over 20 years until his retirement.
Dean loved being outside and doing yard work. He enjoyed fishing, golfing and woodworking. He attended his grandchildren’s sporting events as often as he could, and cherished the time he spent with them. He loved telling his grandchildren about his childhood and taught them many life lessons to become strong and loving people.
Dean is survived by his wife of 55 years, Martha, and their three children: Cindy (Kurt) Klem and Jennifer (Darren) Reno, both of Indianapolis, and Brad (Rachel) Shively, Atlanta, Ga.; five grandchildren: Michael, Owen, Erik, Keira and Eleanor; and his siblings, Noretta (Bob) Brown, Nappanee, and Gary (Judy) Shively, Bremen.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Visitation will be from noon to 2 p.m. today, May 27, in Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan St., Plymouth. Funeral services will follow in the funeral home at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Charles Krieg officiating.
Burial will be in New Oak Hill Cemetery, Plymouth.
