MR. DEAN SCOTT

The good lord came, took Dean's hand and brought him home with him on June 18, 2008. after a long illness.

Dean moved to Winnemucca in 1983, this is where he made his home. He worked as a cook, until he got ill and could not work anymore.

While in Winnemucca Dean met a lot of friends, who he thought the world of. He would have given you the shirt off his back, or his very last dollar, if it was needed to help you out. Dean was a very sweet and giving person.

Dean's family, friends, pets and church meant the world to him. Dean re-found God about five years ago and was baptized. He loved the church he attended and liked to help at any event that the church put on. Dean had a second family at the church who he loved very much.

Dean loved animals. He always had some kind of animal, mostly dogs. They were his kids. Since Dean never married and did not have any kids, he made his pets his kids and spoiled them very much.

Dean is now in Heaven with his grandparents Claude and Vivian Scott, some of his aunts and uncles, and now can resume what he could not when he was ill.

Dean's family includes parents Don and Pat Scott of Winnemucca, brothers Wayne Kranz and his wife Patricia from California, Calvin Kranz and his wife Dixie of California, Tony Scott and his girlfriend Paula of Winnemucca, Claude Scott and his girlfriend Allyson of Winnemucca, sisters Elaine Hendrix and husband Danny of Winnemucca, Tina Camou and husband Martin of Winnemucca, Penny Ball and husband John of California, Sherry Hernandez and husband Jose of Winnemucca, and his loyal friend Bill Delong. Dean had many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews who all of us loved Dean and we will miss him dearly.
