Edward Youngman Obituary

Edward "Dean" Youngman of Double Oak, Texas, formerly of Richland Hills, Texas, passed away on August 22, 2025 at home, surrounded by family. Dean was born in Winfield, Kansas on May 11, 1931 to Charles M. and Gladys I. Youngman. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by a sister, Gloria I. Youngman, brother, Charles Gale Youngman and wives, Pat and Mickie.

Dean is survived by his loving wife, Betty, his daughter Nancy and husband Ras of Wichita, Kansas; step-daughters, Bobbie Jo Sisto and husband Jay; and Billie Jo Andrews and husband Bob, all of Double Oak. Many grandchildren and great-grandchildren also survive.

Dean and Betty loved attending "Jam Sessions" at various senior centers in the area where Dean played and sang as part of the band. Always looking for opportunities to share their love of music, Dean and Betty published a music CD that became a favorite of friends and family, and will be a lasting reminder of their love of music, and each other.

Dean considered his relationship with God to be his greatest accomplishment. He was a member of Bridgewood Church of Christ.

In the hope that it might help others, Dean chose to donate his body to science and wished that no formal services be held.

We are thinking of your family. I lived across the street from Dean and Betty. I loved the beautiful flowers they planted in the front, I enjoyed good conversation with them. I will miss them so much. It is just not the same without them here. That will always be Dean´s and Betty´s house in my eyes. Love you,
Reagan, Zhana, Jackson, Judy and Marc

I knew Dean from the Bedford Senior Center where he and Betty were always there for the guitar group. One of my favorite memories, however, was of them dressing up as Santa and Mrs. Claus and passing out candy to everyone! Very special people!

We are praying for all his family members that they remember all the good times. We were a neighbor of his for the last 40 years. One of the latest memories is when Dean was climbing on his roof. He was probably 85 years old then and we went over and said don´t you ever get back up on this roof Call us or call a roofer. Haha He and Betty were great neighbors.
