Maynard Lee Dean

January 15, 1951 — July 27, 2022

Cut Bank

Maynard Lee Dean, 71, passed away Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at The Ivy Rehabilitation Facility in Great Falls.

Maynard was born January 15, 1951, in Shelby, Montana. He was the son of Robert Paul Dean and Gladys Vivian (Maynard) Dean. Maynard married Karla Wiedeman and they had 3 daughters, Amanda, Melissa, and Katie. He was raised in Cut Bank, where he attended school and resided all his life. He attended mechanical school followed by working many years in the oilfields as a derrickman on drilling rigs, well service rigs, and other types of oilfield employment.

Maynard had multiple interests in life that he enjoyed including camping, hunting, fishing, working on cars, playing his guitars, collecting and trading baseball cards, and playing the “good guy role” with his grandkids and great grandkids. Most of all he loved his LA Dodgers winning (especially against The Astros) or losing, time spent with his family, drinking coffee and visiting with his brother, sister, and friends, and his personal lifelong relationship and belief in God. He was a friend to all and was easy to know and love. One of his family’s favorite qualities was his ability to insure we knew we were loved, unconditionally!
