Dean T. Wadsworth, Jr. 70 of Apulia left February 24, 2024 on his final ride just days before his eighth wedding anniversary on February 29th.
Dean was a master mechanic who could change a motor like you change your clothes and was also skilled at construction. Shortly after his wedding he started the project building his own log home. Cars, motorcycles-anything with wheels was one of his passions. Golfing through summer with a variety of golfing buddies and riding his red Goldwing with his sweetheart on the back and a bunch of Harleys following him kept him busy in summer. The rest of the year gave him time for hunting and trips to Disney, NASCAR races and air shows.
Dean gave 40 plus years to the Apulia Fire Department including being Chief 1988-1992 and he throughly enjoyed his time with all his fellow firemen.
Dean was predeceased by his parents, Dean and Beatrice Wadsworth and two brothers in law, Douglas Dancks and Brent Graves.
He is survived by his loving wife of 32 years Diana (Chase) Wadsworth, a son, two sisters, a brother-in-law, in-laws, and many dear nieces and nephews. He loved his Fur Babies, Rascal,
