Joseph Linus Dean, Jr., 65, – Southern Maryland News Net

Joseph Linus Dean, Jr., 65, passed away on July 11, 2024, at his home in Hollywood, Maryland, with his beloved family at his side.

He was born in Scotland, MD to Mary Catherine “Sissy” (nee Hayden) Dean of Hollywood, MD, and the late Joseph Linus Dean, Sr.

Joey was born and raised in St. Mary’s County and worked as a heavy equipment operator for over 30 years. He was an avid Chevrolet and John Deere man who loved the Dallas Cowboys, NASCAR and horseshoeing. He was a quiet man who never met a stranger and was always ready to help someone in need. He had the most infectious smile and the biggest heart hidden beneath his hardened exterior. The greatest joys in his life were his children and grandchildren.

In addition to his mother, Sissy, Joey is survived by his daughter, Kelly Lynn Sampson (Mirko) of Freeport, FL; his sister, Debbie Gibson (Ellis) of Hollywood, MD; his grandchildren: Brayden, Kenley and Ronan Sampson; and extended family and friends. He is preceded in death by his father, Joseph Linus Dean, Sr. and his son, James “Jamie” Emerick Dean.

The family will receive friends on Monday, July 22, 2024 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM with a memorial service at 12:00 PM at Brinsfield Funeral Home, PA, 22955 Hollywood Road, Leonardtown, MD 20650. Burial will be in Charles Memorial Gardens.
