Obituary of Harold Dean Stockwell
Please share a memory of Harold to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Harold “Dean” Stockwell passed away Sunday 2/23/2020. He was a long time resident of Burnet County Texas and a recent resident of Chattanooga, Tn. He will be buried in Grundy County Tn, the place of his birth.
Dean’s niece, Morgan Pursley wrote this to describe her uncle, “Dean was a light, wherever he went. Whether you met him once, and never again, you knew, that there was something in him. A brightness that others could only pray for. He walked on Earth with a spring in his step. He cared for everyone.”
Dean accepted Jesus as his Savior many years ago. We, his family, would not be able to face this heart breaking loss without the “peace that transcends all understanding” that we each personally have from our own relationship with God. The 100% assurance that Dean is in Heaven for eternity and that we will be with him one day for eternity will carry us through our journey of grief.
