Dean Andrew Voorhees was born March 15, 1971, in Morrison, Illinois. He married the love of his life, Dena Lester, on May 1, 1999, in DeWitt, Iowa. He worked in the body shop at Lujack’s in Davenport for over 10 years before he and Dena moved to Mountain Home, Arkansas.

He was very much into cars and motorcycles, sang in a band, and loved going on long drives. Above all else, family was the most important thing to Dean, especially his grandsons and grandpuppies.

Dean is survived by his wife, Dena; two daughters, Jessica (Joshua) Smith, and Molly Sager, both of Davenport; two grandsons, Hunter and Ethan Smith; a sister, Kittie (Larry) Mital of Coyne Center, Illinois, and her children, Payton Hayward, Kodee Mital, and Brycen Mital; and step-siblings, Harlan, Harold, Harvey, and Gayla Arians, and Ronnie Wayne Norris, and their families. He was preceded in death by his father, Allen Voorhees.
