David "Dean" Pearson

David “Dean” Pearson peacefully passed away at a family home on March 26, 2024. Born in Simpson, Kansas in 1930, he remained there throughout his school years and into young adulthood. At 21, Dean bravely joined the Army during the Korean War, serving from 1951-1953. Dean eventually made his way to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he settled in and made the town his permanent home. Throughout his life, he found immense joy in restoring cars, building houses, mastering the greens in golf, and cherishing moments with his loved ones. Known for his kind, caring, and approachable demeanor, Dean never met a stranger. He is survived by his three children, Mike, Pat (Michelle-daughter-in-law), and Christy, and his adored grandsons Braden and Jase. Dean will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
