MANSFIELD: Dean P. Scott went to be with the Lord Sunday evening, December 20, 2015 in Ohio Health MedCentral Mansfield. He was 79.

Dean spent most of his working life as a firefighter with the Mansfield Fire Department for 32 years before retiring. He also worked at Jamison Well Drilling for many years.

Saying that Dean was passionate about his family would be an understatement. He loved his family very much. Dean enjoyed watching his “little man” at all of the sporting events that he was involved in. He was also a bit of a cook. His specialty was his garlic sausage and sauerkraut.

Dean was a member at Berean Baptist Church having formerly served as a trustee there as well. Most recently he was active at Crossroads Community Church and Impact Worship Center.

He is survived by his sons David Scott, Douglas Scott and Daniel Scott; five grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; sisters Mary Alice Fiskness and Elizabeth Hensey and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

In addition to his parents, Dean was preceded in death by his brother Roger Scott.

His family will receive friends 1-3 & 5-7 p.m. Monday, December 28, 2015 at Crossroads Community Church, 1188 Park Avenue West, where a funeral service honoring Dean’s life will be held Tuesday, December 29, 2015 at 11:30 a.m. Pastor Bill Heaton will officiate. The Richland County Joint Veterans Burial Detail will perform military honors. Burial will follow in Zion Cemetery.

  • Our thoughts & prayers go out to the family. Dean will be missed ! Following is poem I think applicable: titled “If Tears Could build A Stairway
    If tears could build a stairway
    and memories were a lane
    We would walk right up to Heaven
    and bring you back again
    No farewell words were spoken
    No time to say goodby
    You were gone before we knew it
    And only God knows why
    Our hearts still ache in sadness
    And secret tears still flow
    What it meant to lose you
    No one will ever know
    But know we know youj want us
    To mourn for you nomore
    To remember all the Happy times
    Life still has much in store
    Since you”ll never be forgotten
    We pledge to you today
    A hallowed place Within our hearts
    Is where you”ll always Stay”

  • Our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with Dean’s family. He will be missed.

  • I first met Dean over 40 years ago when he would economically repair my car when I was a teacher at MCS.

    When I remet him 2 1/2 years ago, his friendship was a catalyst in my own adjustment to the responsibilities I faced after the death of my husband.

    The charisma of his personality along with his love for the Lord are the things that I will remember about Dean.

    Blessings on the family in their loss.

  • We are sure Dean’s family will miss him terribly, but so will we. He was a delightful man with a GREAT sense of humor. We are very glad we had a chance to know him.

  • Dean was “one of a kind”. Such an ornery, sweet man.

    He told us once of a play he was in that he wore angel wings. He was giggling as he is explaining, him wearing wings. Now he has his own set.

    Will miss him on earth, but will see him again.

    RIP Dean.
