Memorial for Dean Bass
Burton Dean Bass
Nov. 7, 1939-Sept. 8, 2011
Dean was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. His family moved to Mexico when he was about 2 & 1/2 and remained there about 5 years.
At this time his family moved to Okla. From here they made their home in the Valley of So. Tex.
The next move for his family was to Kingsville, Texas during his Jr. High days.
He graduated from H.M. King High School in 1959. He was very active in their sports programs; running track and playing both basketball and football. In 1958 he served as a football captain along with Arturo Flores, James Pilot, Doug Harvey, and Ronny Johnson. He received a scholarship from the University of Houston where he played defensive end in their football program.
Upon graduating from U. of H., Dean began a career in the steel industry. This career took him to Mexico where he worked until his retirement. One of the highlights of his career was to be the overseer in building a steel plant and then putting it into operation.
Dean is survived by his son, Travis, his sister, Sue Bass (Wiley) Barton as well as several nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and cousins.
Memorials may be made in Dean's name to the charity of your choice.

After graduating from KHS in 1956, I went on to Texas A & I (along with about 75 of my class!) While there, pursuing a business degree, I met Sonny, an engineering student. He graduated in 1957 and I finished in 1959. We married that summer and have just celebrated a great 49 years together. I initially went to work for Humble at Stratton Camp and then in the Corpus Christi District Office. We moved with Sonny’s job to Port Lavaca, where our two children were born. Then we made our home in Portland, Texas for 37 years. I had become a teacher and taught high school and then elementary school for 25 years. We retired to our beloved Concan in the Hill Country in 2002 and feel truly blessed to live in “God’s Country” on the beautiful Frio River.
Thanks to all of the ones who have worked so hard to make this reunion possible. I look forward to being there. It is always great to include the before and after classes since we were such a small school.
