John Dean Robeson, 75, of San Antonio, TX, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, July 19, 2025 at Methodist Stone Oak Hospital after complications from a blood disorder.
He was born at home on September 30, 1949 in Vinton, IA to father, John Robeson, and mother, Kathleen, the second of five children. Dean grew up working on the farm with his family, showing horses, participating in 4-H and graduated from Dysart Geneseo High School in 1968. While temporarily working in San Antonio, he met Denise (Hampton) in Sunday School at Wayside Chapel. Their long-distance courtship over the phone while he was in Kansas City eventually drew him back to south Texas, leading to their marriage on December 6, 1997.
Dean worked in Sales throughout his career, starting at Farmland Industries in their pet food division. He moved to San Antonio in 1996 working for Aspen Beverage in Sales and Customer Service Support, holding the top sales role for many years. Dean was liked by everyone and was well known in the industry as a man of character, always there to help. His personal connections with customers and genuine care for people, many of whom became long-term friends, helped launch Aspen Beverage on to the national stage. He remained at Aspen until retiring in June 2021 after 25 years of loyal service.
Dean loved the Lord and his life, and in so doing, loved all of us well, sharing his happiness and joy with an unshakably bright smile. He “never met a stranger”, a dramatic transformation from the small boy who used to hide under the kitchen table when people came to visit. An active member of Community Bible Church of San Antonio, TX, Dean volunteered as a greeter welcoming people into the services with that same bright smile. He also loved volunteering as an usher at Cowboy Church during the San Antonio Rodeo and as a volunteer chaplain at the Dominguez State Jail.
Dean was preceded in death by his parents and is survived by his wife Denise, four siblings, Victoria Williams of Cedar Falls, IA, David Robeson of Grundy Center, IA, Jane Robeson of Apopka, FL, Randy Robeson (Debbie) of Waterloo, IA, mother-in-law Donna Nolde of Larned, KS, brother-in-law Doug Hampton of Ponca City, OK, sister-in-law Dawn Strain of Ponca City, OK, brother-in-law David Hampton (Pauline) of Larned, KS and many nieces & nephews.
A celebration of life service will be held at Community Bible Church in San Antonio, TX on Monday, October 20th at 11:00 am. Donations can be made in Dean’s memory to Samaritan’s Purse @ samaritianspurse.org or a charity of your choosing.
