Joey Dean

Joseph Wayne Dean, lovingly known as Joey, passed away on November 5, 2026.

Joey was a loving father, friend, and son whose presence brought laughter and unforgettable memories to those fortunate enough to know him. He had a natural ability to make people laugh, and his sense of humor was one of the many things that made him so special.

Joey was a talented mechanic and electrician; skills he learned from his father, Dennis Dean. The knowledge and passion passed down from his father became something Joey carried with him throughout his life. He was also a wonderful cook, sharing his love of food and the kitchen with those around him.

Joey was preceded in death by his parents, Rosalie and Dennis Dean. He leaves behind his beloved son, Dominic Dean, as well as his surviving family members Barbara Barry, Chris Ziegler (Megan), and Edward Skabisky (Angelique). Though his time here was far too short, the memories Joey created, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by the people whose lives he touched.

The family will receive friends from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Monday, November 16, 2026 at Stauffer Funeral Home, 1621 Opossumtown Pike in Frederick, Maryland.
