Dean was born September 24, 1943 to Charles and Rosaline (Haynes) Sharp in Marshalltown, IA. He graduated from Beaman-Conrad High School in 1961. Dean was united in marriage to LaDonna Schiebel on November 23, 1963 in Conrad and was a member of the Conrad United Methodist Church. He was a former member of the Conrad Volunteer Fire Department and the Conrad Cemetery Board. He engaged in farming his entire life and was happy to have his son and grandson follow in his footsteps. Dean was proud to participate in Tractorcade in 1979, where he flew to Washington D.C. to lobby for increased crop prices. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, especially his many "safety meetings" at the shop.
Dean will be missed by his wife, LaDonna, a son, Roy (Deb) Sharp of Conrad, two daughters, Renee (Brad) Wiggins of St. Paul, MN, Jeannie (Dan) Tonner of Conrad, seven grandchildren; Alli (Brandon) Lenehan, Robert (Abbie) Sharp, Sara Sharp, Emily (Rudy) Wessels, Ellen (Caleb) Zimmermann, Elisabeth Tonner, Amelia Tonner, a brother, Dale (Sarah) Sharp of Council Bluffs, IA, and a sister, Debbie (Craig) Hupfeld of Liscomb, IA. He was preceded in death by a son, Rodney, and a sister, Dorothy King.
And please remember, as Dean always said, "Have a little fun every day!"
