He served in the U.S. Army from 1954 to 1957, where he married Margot Schluechter, who predeceased him June 8, 1990.

He worked many years as a supervisor at the Ethan Allen Manufacturing Company. He was also a farmer. Farming was his most important passion. He loved the animals, field work, and spending endless hours with his family working hard.

Dean loved driving his pickup truck, running the roads was his biggest enjoyment. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing and playing cards, and always said, “Tell it like it is. The truth never hurt anyone but a lie hurts everyone.” He was always helping anyone and everyone, and he had friends everywhere he went.

Dean is survived by his children: Brigitte Moulton and her husband, Larry, of Brownington, Peter McCoy and his wife, Carla, of Brownington, John McCoy of Brownington, Lori Royer or Irasburg, and Tammy Thibeault and her husband, John, of Irasburg; and his many loved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He had a very special bond with his grandson John Thibeault II; and special niece Gail McCoy. There were many people who held a special place in his heart: Aaron Smith, Becky Boulanger, Bob Collins, Cody Miller, Shawn and Michele Slater, and many, many more. He is also survived by his brother Dale McCoy of Coventry; and his sister Pauline McCoy of Glover.

He was predeceased by his son-in-law Denis Royer, and his other siblings.

He lived life the way he did “mind over matter. I don’t mind and you don’t matter.

There will be a graveside service at a later date to be announced.
