DAVENPORT-Dean Strom, 82, of Davenport, Iowa entered eternal life on Saturday, December 26, 2020 at Clarissa C Cook Hospice House, Bettendorf, Iowa. He was diagnosed with cancer on December 16th. A celebration of life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday August 14th at Christ United Methodist Church located at 2330 W 41st Street, Davenport.

Dean was born on December 2, 1938 to John and Irene Strom in Kewanee, Illinois. He was united in marriage to Karen "Sue" Martz in 1977. Dean was the supervisor of transportation for the Davenport Community Schools for over 25 years. Dean loved music; he was the choir director at Christ United Methodist Church, played in the CASI Band, was in a circus and polka band, and sang with the Good News Singers. He was even the Executive director of the Emerald Knights drum and bugle corps. Dean was an avid Iowa Hawkeye, Chicago Cubs and Bear fan.
