Dean was born August 13, 1940 in Owendale to the late Albert and Ruby (Choate) Ellicott. He married Carol M. Ackerman on June 22, 1963. He worked as a carpenter and roofer. One of his greatest pleasures was riding his horse “Miracle” after a hard days work or in a local parade. He enjoyed volunteering at Bay Shore Camp, fishing, camping, teasing and laughing with his family. In his younger years he enjoyed snowmobiling with friends, but the past 20 years winters have been spent in the Florida sun playing shuffleboard.

Dean is survived by his wife Carol; daughters Leeann (Jeffrey) Rajewski of Gagetown and Shelly Binder of Sebewaing; grandchildren Tara (Jon) Marczak, Brian (Megan) Binder and Shawn (Melanie Queen) Binder; great-grandchildren Josiah Benish, Alexander Dean Binder and Baby Binder due in January; sister Janice (Chuck) Shanlian of Florida; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He is preceded in death by his sister Ruth Marie Ellicott.

A celebration of his life will take place later in 2022. Champagne Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.

Memorials may be made to United Hospice Service of Marlette or Bay Shore Camp.
