Benjamin Walter Dean, 72, of Fresno, California, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2026.

Born in Slidell, Louisiana, on September 18, 1953. Benjamin spent many years working dedicatedly in construction. He was an avid outdoorsman who found his greatest joy in nature, especially when he was fishing and hunting.

Benjamin is survived by his loving family, including his son, Anthony Wayne Dean, and wife Angela Dean of Riverside, California; his son, Logan James Dean, and fiancée Tiffany Sanders of Fresno, California; and his two cherished grandchildren. He also leaves behind a large circle of extended family members and close friends who will miss his presence dearly.

A celebration of life will be held in September, with the exact date and location to be determined by the family.
