Larry “Homer” Dean, 79, of Winterset, passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, March 12, 2025. He was born on July 20, 1945, in Greenfield, Iowa, the son of Howard and Hazel (Hines) Dean.
Larry went to Orient-Macksburg High School and was a lifelong farmer. He had a deep love for livestock, feeding cattle in his early years and later working as a dedicated farmhand. In the early 2000s, he started a fencing business alongside his son, a venture that his son later took over.
Larry had a passion for Oliver tractors. His loyal yellow Lab, Sadie, was a constant companion and brought him great joy. His hardworking nature, love for farming, and devotion to his family will always be remembered.
He is survived by his four sons and three daughters, along with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will cherish his memory. Larry was preceded in death by his parents and his siblings, Michael Dean and Joyce Stanford.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family for a future designation.
