Born in Chicago, Illinois on April 27th, 1975; the son of Sharon Daugherty Bray and her husband Charles of Factoryville and Dean W. Austin Sr. of Columbus, OH. Dean graduated from Lackawanna Trail in 1994 where he played football, volleyball, wrestled, was a class officer, a member of the chorus, and known as a fun, humble person who had an infectious laugh. He stood up for those who needed a protector, and was the first to help anyone in need. He was a friend to all and a man who brought people together. After his time at Trail, Dean served in U.S Army and was appointed squadron leader. He later became a member of the American Legion Post 953 Nicholson. He’s a member of the Mill City Assembly of God Church. He had worked at Wyoming County Jail as a Corrections Officer. He was an avid Chicago Bears Fan. In his life, his Mother and Step Father served as models as what it was to be a strong family man. His greatest joys in this life were spending time with his Mom and Dad, his Brother, and son. Above all, he lived to see his son Kyle play football and baseball. Special thank you to the staff at Allied T.L. and to Dr. Michael Kondash and Dr. Daryl Krouse for all of their care. Surviving are his beloved mother Sharon and step father Charles Bray of Factoryville, son Kyle at home, a brother Gregory Bray of Dalton and two sisters Jamie MacNaughton of Alberta, Canada and Dione Jewell of W.V., and Christine, a special person in his life and a close friend Jonathan Lane.
