He was also a loving stepfather to Travis Hopkins. His memory will be treasured by his grandchildren: Charlize Johnson, Kyla Butler, and Alexander Bateson, with anticipation for one more grandchild on the way.

Dean was a dedicated entrepreneur, having owned Bateson Construction until 2005. He later retired as a respected Senior Superintendent with Wood Partners in 2023. His passions were diverse and vibrant, including traveling, scuba diving, fishing adventures in Alaska, the satisfaction of building, the thrill of auctions, the care of his poultry, and simply being outdoors.
