He loved to go fishing and wanted he and his wife, Violet, to go shark fishing in Florida. Dean was a very ornery man. He lived to make jokes and pick on Ursula, their fur-daughter.

Dean was preceded in death by his parents, Larry Bentley, Sr. and Barbara Hostetter; brother, Larry Bentley; sister-in-law, Charla Bentley; in-laws, Ralph and Mary (Poly) Adler; and his daugher, Amanda Adler.

He is survived by his wife of 14 years, Violet Bentley; sons, Robert Adler, Zachary Hockett, Tim Adler, Chris Shriver, and Shawn Shriver; sisters, Dianna Grube, Lora Bentley Nereim Morton, and Elise Rivera; brothers, Brian Weitzin, Tom Cleghorn, and David Dedmond; and several grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

Violet would like to thank Ashley (Bentley) Mauk, Marsha Thacker, and Stephanie Campball for being by her side through everything.

There will be a celebration of life at a later date. Any donations should be sent to Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines, IA 50309 in care of Violet Bentley.
