Dean Portz

We mourn the loss of our beloved Dean Portz on December 26, 2025. Dean will be remembered as a funny, helpful and deeply loving family member whose presence brought warmth and laughter wherever he went. An avid golfer and master fisherman, Dean was famously feared by the fish in the lake but cherished by all who knew him.

 Above all, he was devoted to his family, especially his grandchildren, who brought him endless pride and joy. Dean is preceded in death by his parents. Jewel and James Portz. 

He is survived by his loving wife, three children, six grandchildren and all those who had the pleasure of learning from him and listening to his stories. His legacy lived on in the lived he touched and the love he shared.
