On Tuesday, Feb 27,2024, Billy Dean Senter, Loving Brother, Uncle, Great Uncle, Cousin and friend passed away at the age of 74 at his home in Troup, TX

Dean, as those who lovingly called him was born on July 12, 1949 in Tyler, TX and proceeded in death by both his parents, Albert Benjamin(Bennie) and Thelma Dain (Pond)Senter and sister Judy Ann(Senter)Rieken.  After Dean graduated from Whitehouse High School in 1967.  He joined the Marines and served his tour in Vietnam.  Returning home he married and started work at Marsh Industries.  Dean is survived by his two remaining siblings Bennie(Gerald)and Sharon (Boyette)Senter and  Peggy (Senter)Villagomez and husband Ralph.

Dean had a love for the outdoors, nature and sports.  Growing up he spent a lot of time with his Dad and big brother, Gerald hunting and fishing. After retiring, Hunting and fishing was the glue that created a strong bond with his Mammaw (Margie Pond) Cousin (Jimmy Dean Stuart)  and a especially close bond with his nephew, Kris Senter and his Great nephew Logan Britt.

Dean had no children, but loved his nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews as his own.  To those who knew and loved him he was fondly referred to as “Uncle Dean”.

He was a thoughtful person, sending cards and calls on birthdays and Christmas.  He loved lotto tickets and had a great sense of humor.  His wishes were to be cremated.  Family and friends will have a private memorial at a later date.  We ask for your prayers during this difficult time.
