Dean was a truck driver for the state of Maryland for many years, then went on to drive a dump truck for Sam’s Paving. In his younger days, he liked riding cross country on motorcycles. Dean enjoyed going on scenic rides, singing, and watching Westerns. His greatest pleasure in life was spending time with his family who knew him as the life of the party.

In addition to his parents, Dean is preceded in death by his wife, Janice Keyes; sister, Mary Lou Keyes; and sister-in-law; Joan Keyes.
Services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Dean’s honor may be made payable to the “American Heart Association” and sent in care of R.T. Foard Funeral Home, PO Box 248, Rising Sun, 21911.
