Dean Craig Kees, age 60, of Ellsworth, WI died unexpectedly at his residence on July 10, 2015. He was born October 2, 1954 in Red Wing, MN to Donald and Delores “Toots” (Glass) Kees. He graduated from Ellsworth High School in 1973. Dean spent many years in the Boy Scouts. He loved hunting South Dakota Pheasants and fishing Rush River Trout, with his dogs Gunnar and Pearl by his side. Dean enjoyed anything that was FAST and LOUD, his Harley Davidson, and of course his precious baby…his Semi, which he cleaned for hours, making sure it was perfect. Everything Dean did was with that big smile on his face and his sly little giggle

He is preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Toots Kees.

Dean is survived by his children, Tiffany Simmons (Chris), Alison Kees, Curtis Kees (Justina); grandchildren, Elijah, Elianah, Michael, Trevor Jr., Maddyx; siblings, Donald (Mona), Douglas (Maureen), Dennis (Mary), Dawn (Kevin) Laundry.
