Dean was born in Eden, Utah, on March 15, 1932, to David Colon Lindsay and Alice Vivian Cheney. Dean excelled in school and sports. He was a star offensive tackle for Weber High School and Weber College. He earned a football scholarship to BYU but gave it up when he was drafted into the U.S. Army. Dean served his country honorably during the Korean War and returned home to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Los Angeles, California. While on his mission, Dean met a fellow missionary, Mary Lyon Miles. Dean and Mary later married in the LDS St. George temple and had six children.
