Amos Santos Dean

Amos Ruiz-Dean, 67, went home to be with our Heavenly Father on December, 8, 2022.   Amos was born in South San Ysidro, NM ("Gusano") and lived the majority of his life in Santa Fe with great love for his birthplace and hometown.  While in Santa Fe, he helped raise two sons, Mario and Gabriel.  With the births of his grandson Maceo Israel Dean and granddaughter Olivia Grace Dean, came the biggest joy in his life. 

Amos was a generous and loving son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend.  To those that knew him, he was always there to lend support in times of need and celebrate with you in times of happiness.   He loved his family and friends, the mountains, cooking, music, hunting,  and his gun collection.  He found his greatest calling in the study and praise of the Lord, and had great faith and love in his heart for God.

He was preceded in death by his mother; Grace Ruiz-Dean, and father; Luis Dean.   He is survived by his children; Mario (Kate) Dean, Gabriel Dean, grandchildren; Maceo and Olivia, and siblings; Leroy, Lester, Glenda, Edwin, Angela, Ruth, and Martin.

Services will be held at Rivera Family Funeral Home on Tuesday, December 20th, 2022 with visitation beginning at 10:30AM.  Burial services will follow at the Rosario Cemetery with a reception at the Santa Fe Woman's Club off of Old Pecos Trail  immediately after.
