Dean Allen Peterson, the son of LaDon and Cheryl Peterson (Worden) and Scott Engfer, was born on July 19, 1978, in Litchfield, MN. He received his education at ACGC High School.

Prior to that, Dean was a heavy equipment operator and also an over the road truck driver. Although a less than average life span, Dean did not live an average life. He traveled where he wanted to travel, laughed inappropriately at every chance, learned what he wanted to learn, fixed what he wanted to fix and loved who he wanted to love. Dean enjoyed many things, mostly spending time with family and friends. He enjoyed going to off-roading events with his Jeep. Dean loved to blare his country music every chance he got and would gladly take the title of DJ at any gathering. Dean loved to make people laugh and always had a good story to share. You would never catch him without his cowboy boots on or without a joke up his sleeve.
