Verdean “Dean” A. Baerenwald passed peacefully to be with our Heavenly Father on February 18, 2019. Dean was a 35 year veteran of the St. Paul Fire Department and served in the United States Army during the Korean War era. He loved the Lord, his family, and his friends. He was a climber of hills and mountains, traveler of the world, and a great lover of dancing and the outdoors. He especially loved to spend time working the woods and trails on the Wisconsin land he treasured. Dean is preceded in death by his parents Ernie & Tillie Baerenwald, wife Margaret “Marge” Cieminski Baerenwald, sister Jean White, and brother Marlen Baerenwald. He is survived by daughter Darla Joy Dullye (Gary Dullye), son Steven Mark Baerenwald (Lanelle Baerenwald), sister Joan Bauer, very dear friend Connie Wagner, and many nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

You have my sincere sympathy in the loss, Prayers for all, Hilda (friend from dancing)
Our sympathy to the family. Dean was one of the first individuals we met after moving to River Falls. A true gentleman who was always a pleasure to see and talk with.
Dean was a great person to work with and to know. He had a wealth of experience in fire fighting and shared it with those of us who came after him. I enjoyed listening to his many stories about his and his family’s experiences. My condolences to the family
Condolence to family. A great person with whom I will have special memories forever.
Dean was both a really good friend as well as mentor for my dad, Merton Timmerman. He had a sincere approach to life which was evidenced in good works and good humor. Goodbye and thank you, Dean.

Dean bought his big team ( Duke & Dan) from my dad. He was kind enough to allow us to visit and drive them after the auction. He was a good man.. I was very sorry years later to hear of his passing.. God bless his family.
