Dean was born September 2, 1933, in Webb City, MO, son of the late Cecil Robert Wilson Sr. and Fannie Grace Gibson Wilson. He grew up in Carl Junction and graduated from Carl Junction High School.
Dean worked for years in sales, mainly automobile sales at Dan Stanley Ford. He then opened Dean Wilson Auto Sales in Webb City. He obtained his real estate license and opened Wilson Real Estate, which he enjoyed for years before retiring. He then opened Carl Junction Flea Market, which he operated until 2000.
Dean was a member of the Carl Junction United Methodist Church, serving in several different capacities, and the Joplin Elk's Lodge #501. He was also an active volunteer with the Carl Junction American Legion Baseball for years, something that was very dear to his heart. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan. Dean was a veteran of the United States Army and served during the Korean war. Dean was a kind hearted soul and would help those in need without question. He will be missed dearly by everyone that knew and loved him.
In addition to his parents, Dean was preceded in death by his siblings, Cecil Wilson Jr., Glenn Wilson, Art Wilson, Danny Wilson and Carol Sue Wilson.
