Dean was raised in Delphos and soon after high school he went into the Air Force as a mechanic. He was called back home to help his father with the farm a couple of years later.

Dean Stelter was very witty. He enjoyed teasing people and making them laugh. That is the way he wanted to be remembered.

Preceded in death is his wife Kathleen (2001), his sister Betty Sue Baker (2008), daughter Kaylinn Maillet (2022), and son David Stelter-Wood (2022).
It was Dean’s wish to be cremated and no services be held. He will be laid to rest in the Delphos Cemetery.
