Austin Lee Dean, 21, Plymouth died unexpectedly Saturday evening, July 11, at home.

Austin was raised in Plymouth the son of Angel D. (Clark) Pennington who survives. He was involved in the Jr. League Football and as a member of the 2012 graduating class of Plymouth High School, Austin played varsity baseball as a pitcher and third baseman with Jason Peters and John Smith who were a big influence on his playing. He continued summer play with the American Legion Post Baseball.

Austin was never materialistic and settled for the simpler more important things in life; his family, friends, listening to music and fishing Dixon Lake just like his Great Grandma McHargue and Great Aunt Goldie often did. They were two influencers in his life that he dearly missed after their passing.

He was raised on Christian beliefs and as a youth, he was involved in the Boys and Girls Club of Marshall County. Austin worked in production with Prairie Mills Products in Rochester a company he greatly admired.
