It is with extreme sadness that the Montgomery County Commission advises you of the death of our beloved and admired friend and colleague, Elton N. Dean, Sr.
Chairman Dean had been ill for several months and passed away peacefully with his family at his side. Our hearts go out to Dean's immediate and extended family during this difficult time, and we ask that you please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
"Elton was more than a Commissioner; he was like a big brother to us all. We looked to him for his insight as a leader and his words of wisdom," says Commission vice-chairman Doug Singleton. "I will always treasure our endless discussions about his love for his county and baseball," said Singleton.
Dean was first elected to the Commission in November 2000 and was re-elected by his constituents for the next five election cycles, serving as a County Commissioner for a total of 22 years. He was elected vice chairman at the Commission's organizational meeting in November 2004 and named chairman in 2009, a role he served passionately and tirelessly until his recent illness.
