Will was born on January 25, 1962, in Bryan, Texas. He was a man with humble beginnings, but he was rich in ways that cannot be measured by material possessions. He was rich in wisdom, kindness and love. He was the kind of man that knew the value of hard work, the importance of honesty and the strength of humility. His life was not an easy journey, but it was a journey that he embarked on with courage and dignity.

In his early years, Will worked in the oilfield and assisted in training fire fighters at the fireman’s training field. He dabbled in many fields such as mechanics and plumbing. Will spent the last 20+ years working as an equipment operator until he retired in 2015. He was a jack of all trades, master of none. Aside from his passion for his family, he had a passion for classic cars, spending most of his days after work and weekends rebuilding a classic and putting down roots for his family.

Will is survived by his wife of 42 years, Sheri Dean, daughter, Kristy Welch and husband, Michael Welch, daughter, Shawna Dean and wife Brittany Dean, 2 grandsons, Colton Welch and Logan Welch, sister, Donna Ashton, 3 brothers, Charles Alton Dean, Shannon Ray Dean and Charles Francis Dean Jr. as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
