He was born on September 21, 1952, in Spirit
Lake to Donald E. Satchwell and Dorothy P.

Dean grew up on the family farm on the Rathdrum
Prairie in Post Falls. He graduated from Post

profession was to become a peace officer. He
attended numerous certified law enforcement
courses throughout his 32-year career in
Washtucna, Ritzville and Othello with the Adams
County, Washington, Sheriff’s Office. After
retirement, Dean worked at the Bonners Ferry
Police Department and the Boundary County and
Bonner County Sheriff’s Departments. While
living in Fairbanks, Alaska, he worked at the
Sportsman’s Warehouse and Yukon Title.
Dean married Janet C. Camp in Cheney,
Washington, and they recently celebrated their
39th wedding anniversary.
Dean enjoyed skiing, hunting and fishing,
“do-it-yourself” projects, photography, making
intarsia wood projects for family and friends,
picking huckleberries, hiking and taking drives
in the mountains.
He is survived by his wife, Janet, Oakesdale,
Washington, his mother, Dorothy Satchwell, Post
Falls, siblings Donald R. (Terri) Satchwell of
Marlton, New Jersey, Donna (Robert) Felgenhauer
of Oakesdale, Washington, and DeImna (Mark)
Heiken of Fort Benton, Montana; in-laws Richard
and Mary Ellen Camp of Spangle, Washington, and
Carolyn (Allen) Dyer of Simi Valley, California;
two nieces, five nephews, and several grand
nieces and nephews.
Dean was preceded in death by his father, Donald

Our families request you pay tribute to Dean by
holding the door open for other people, showing
up to help others with projects large and small,
driving without distractions and living your
life with wisdom and compassion. Thank you Dean,
we honor your pride, integrity and guts. |
