Roy Seth Dean, 67, of Vandervoort, Arkansas, passed away on September 29, 2023. Roy was born on February 8, 1956, to Vernon Eugene Dean and Alice Pauline (Barrett) Dean in Mena, Arkansas. He worked at the feed mill and the rock quarry for most of his life; when he wasn’t working, he could be found in the pasture rounding up cattle.
Roy loved to hunt and anything to do with farming. He would say he wouldn’t do a garden next year, but it never failed he would be out there next year doing it all over again. He loved to watch comedians, but everyone who knew him knew he was a comedian on his own. He loved talking about the good ole days and listening to the old-timey country music, but overall, his pride and joy were his nephews.
Roy is survived by, one brother, Keith, and wife Iris Dean, two sisters, Mable, and husband Lemuel Pennington, and Mildred Sherrouse, along with a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He is preceded in death by his parents, brothers, John, Delvin, Franklin, and Gene Dean, and sisters, Ollie Faye Keeney, and Margaret Jones.
Graveside services will be held at 10:00 am on Monday, October 2, 2023, at Witherspoon cemetery in Vandervoort, Arkansas with Brother Tim Smedley officiating. The pallbearers will be, Mitchell, Gary, Tony Gatlin, David Dean, Rodney Jones, and Jonathan Dean.
