Dean B. Wiedmann
April 7, 1947 — March 22, 2007
Dean Burdette Wiedmann, 59, of Detroit Lakes, MN, died peacefully at home on March 22, 2007, after a yearlong battle with cancer.
Dean was born April 7, 1947, in Fargo, ND, to Otto and Leah Wiedmann. He graduated with a degree in Business Economics from North Dakota State University in 1969 and went on to serve a short term in the U.S. Army.
On March 28, 1969, Dean married Linda Simpson in Moorhead, MN. After living in Minot, ND, and York, NE, for a short period, they moved back to Moorhead where they settled and raised their three children. In 2002, they made the move to Detroit Lakes.
Dean worked for Nash Finch, Norwest Bank, Fargo National Bank and the Burlington Northern Railroad before beginning his career of twenty-eight years as a self-employed financial advisor.
Dean accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior as a young boy. His relationship with the Lord was an integral part of his life and a testimony to family and friends. A ministry that was dear to his heart was the Gideons International; he was member of the Moorhead camp for over 25 years.
Dean loved and appreciated living in Minnesota! He enjoyed winter days crappie fishing on Upper Red Lake, fall evenings walleye fishing on Mille Lacs and looked forward to the fall hunt. He followed the Minnesota Twins and was a huge fan of the Moorhead Spuds hockey team. He also loved grilling in the backyard with his family, boating on summer days and the 4th of July fireworks. Gardening and growing old-fashioned English roses was a passion.
Dean was a loving husband, an exceptional father, and a fun and devoted grandfather who will be deeply missed.
Dean was preceded in death by his father, Otto.
Dean is survived by his wife Linda of 37 years; two sons, Todd (Rhonda) Audubon, MN, David, Glendale, AZ; one daughter, Laura, St. Paul, MN; three grandsons, Brody, Chase, Rece; his mother, Leah, Fargo; two brothers, Ron (Glenna) Fargo, and Jim (Pam) Gl
