Marvin Dean was born on March 20, 1954, in Canton, South Dakota, to Arie and Rena (Brands) Int Veld. He grew up on his family’s acreage east of Inwood, attended the Inwood Christian School, and graduated from Western Christian High School in Hull.

On June 8, 1973, he was united in marriage to Betty Jane Top at the Inwood Christian Reformed Church. The couple first made their home near Doon and later moved to Inwood before settling in Orange City in 1976.

He was also a proud member and supporter of the National Rifle Association.
