A visitation will be held on Sunday, June 23, 2024, from 2:00 to 4:00PM at the Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home. A time of sharing will follow the visitation and begin at 4:00PM.
Chuck was born August 21, 1953, to Charles and Helen (Barnes) Dean in High Point, North Carolina.

He worked as an electrical lineman and later a control engineer for Lincoln Electric Systems and Alliant Energy.
Chuck was a beloved father, treasured grandfather, energetic neighbor and friend. He was quick with a joke and a helping hand. He was known as “Tool time” to neighbors and friends. All who knew him had fun stories to share.
He is survived by his loving wife of fifty-one years, Maria; children, Jeanenne (Manish), and Daniel; grandchildren, Nicholas, Anya, Priya, Kyle, and Shane; siblings, Nancy and Robby. He is preceded in death by his parents.
