David Dean

David Dean


David Freeman Dean was born in Jackson, Mich., on Nov. 16, 1941. It was there where he met Barbara Boverhof at Todoroff’s diner when he would come in towards the end of her shift at 2 a.m. for his dinner break from the post office. They became good friends due to David’s great sense of humor and later started dating. They married April 7, 1965. Together, David and Barbara made their way to Montana, eventually settling in Culbertson where they raised their daughter, Shasta. His family was completed by the birth of his granddaughter and grandson. David’s world revolved around his grandchildren. He attended almost every activity and event they were involved in, even catching one last football game before he became ill. We will miss him showing up an hour early with arms full of his homemade jerky or monster cookies. David served as a medic in the United States Navy and later became involved in the American Legion. He proudly put together many blue-ribbon fair booths and was commander of Thomas Mann Post 81 at the time of his passing. David passed away Nov. 6, 2021, with his wife and daughter by his side. David is survived by his wife, Barbara; and daughter, Shasta, her husband and children. He is also survived by his sisters-in-law, Karen (Ron) Rahlf, Valerie Schovanec, Audrey Watts and Cindy (Ed) Everson; countless nieces and nephews; and numerous other relatives. We have been told by many people that we will never know how much David has done for them or their family, it truly warms our hearts and we thank you for sharing. Please join us for David’s memorial service Friday, Nov. 19, 2021, at 11 a.m. in Culbertson at the Legion Hall. Lunch will be served following the service. (Paid Obituary)

Friends may sign the on-line register book and give their condolences at www.fulkersons.com. Scot’s funeral service was held on Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021, at 1 p.m. MST at the Bainville High School gymnasium in Bainville, Mont. Pastor Lane Vannatta and Pastor Neil Knutson co-officiated. Scot was laid to rest in the Bainville Cemetery in Bainville, Mont. Visitation was held Friday, Nov. 12, 2021, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST at the Fulkerson Stevenson Funeral Home Chapel in Williston, N.D., and an hour prior to the service time at the gymnasium. A friends and family service was held Friday, Nov. 12, 2021, at 7 p.m. CST in the Fulkerson Stevenson Funeral Home Chapel in Williston, N.D. The funeral service was broadcast directly on his obituary page on Fulkerson’s website www. fulkersons.com. Scot Tracy Panasuk was born in Williston, N.D., on Nov. 13, 1957. He was the fifth child of George and Irene Panasuk’s seven children and grew up on the family farm north of Bainville, Mont. He was educated in Bainville and graduated from Bainville High School with the class of 1976. Scot went to Minot State University where he played defensive end and linebacker on the football team with a football scholarship. He then transferred to Montana State University and earned his bachelor’s degree in ag business. In 1977, he met Diane Hughes, who he was married to from 1978 until 2016. Scot, Diane and Travis, Diane’s son who Scot loved like his own, moved out to the farm that they had purchased six miles south of Bainville after his time at MSU. Their family was completed with the birth of their son Trent in 1988. Scot enjoyed the finer things in life — playing cards, fishing, driving his ‘57 Chevy and riding his Harley all while dipping wintergreen snus and drinking copious amounts of coffee. He suffered a life of disappointment as a die-hard Minnesota Vikings fan waiting for the elusive Super Bowl win, but there was always a smile on his face when a Norwegian joke was told or there was a plate of Lutefisk in front of him. Anyone who met Scot will remember his hearty laugh that lit up a room and made everyone smile. Though he endured northeast Montana winters his entire life, he recently embraced the sunny Arizona snowbird lifestyle. Scot was a passionate farmer who was known throughout the area for his knowledge, advice and willingness to lend a hand. Above all else, Scot loved his family and the Lord. He lived a faith-filled life and had a positive impact on all who knew him. Scot was a pillar in the Bainville community throughout his life. He served on the school board, the volunteer fire department and the church board for many years. He is survived by his sons, Trent Panasuk and Travis Chartier; Diane Panasuk; brothers, Dana (Brenna) Panasuk, Miles (Cyndy) Panasuk, Mark (Jan) Panasuk and Todd (Brinda) Panasuk; sisters, Mary (Greg) Peed and Amy Beth Miller; as well as many nieces and nephews who adored him. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Irene Panasuk. (Paid Obituary)
