Funeral service for Dean Blair Snow, 29, of Chickasha, Okla., will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, September 22, 2005, at Southern Oaks Church of Christ in Chickasha. Steve Parker, pulpit minister, will officiate.
Dean Snow was born March 26, 1976, in Youngstown, Ohio, and died on Saturday, September 17, 2005, in Oklahoma City, Okla., due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
Dean graduated from Shawnee High School in 1994, and attended Oklahoma State University. He completed basic training for the U.S. Marine Corps in 1999, and rose to the rank of lance corporal in the Reserves. In the meantime, he began an apprenticeship program through the International Brotherhood of Electical Workers (Local 1141), training to become an electrician.
Dean was baptized into Christ on March 2, 2003. He married Jenese Epperson on August 11, 2001, in Shawnee, Okla.
He was activated for service in Operation Iraqi Freedom during 2003, and spent six months in Iraq and Kuwait. During his military career, he was awarded several commendations, ribbons, and medals, including the Combat Action Ribbon and the Presidential Unit Citation.
A deeply loving husband, son, and brother, Dean was also an eager Christian, thirsting to know more about his heavenly Father and longing for the reward that is now his. One of his greatest joys was helping people, and through death he made life possible for others by becoming an organ donor.
Dean was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Windfall Snow, and his maternal grandfather, Dean Spence.
Dean is survived by his wife, Jenese, of the home; his parents, Steve and Becky Snow, of Shawnee; his brother, Alan of Shawnee, and sisters, Erin, of Shawnee, and Stacey, of Stillwater, Okla.; his paternal grandmother, Flo Snow, of Niles, Ohio; his maternal grandmother, Margaret Spence-Bickel, of Oil City, Penn.; father and mother-in-law, Arthur and Noma Epperson, of Shawnee; brother-in-law and wife, Brian and Allison Epperson, of Missoula, Mont.; several aunts, uncles, and cousins; and a wide circle of church family and friends.
Following the service, burial will take place at 2 p.m. on September 22, 2005, in Fairview Cemetery in Shawnee under the direction of the McRay Funeral Home, Chickasha.
