Departed: 06/10/2023 (Chrisney)

Obituary Preview: Dale, IN – Gerald “Dean” Bolin, age 56, of Dale, Indiana passed away Saturday, June 10, 2023, at home.

Dean was born in Chrisney, Indiana to Beverly (Hendrickson) and Gerald “Gary” Bolin on January 25, 1967, the oldest of three sons.

A 1985 graduate of Heritage Hills High School, Dean went on to receive his bachelor’s degree in history education from Indiana State University, and after teaching for a year, he returned to complete his master’s in theater. He worked for a number of years as deputy building inspector for various Spencer County communities under Building Inspector Phil Brown, before joining the staff as an award-winning reporter/editor for the Spencer County Leader and Ferdinand News. Health issues caused him to retire almost three years ago, but he continued to write both plays and the occasional article. It was a well-kept secret that the musical produced at the Lincoln Amphitheatre in 2019 entitled “Here I Grew Up” was written by him, and when the director asked to purchase the rights to the musical, he donated it anonymously to be performed and enjoyed into perpetuity. His ability for storytelling knew no bounds, whether it was as an actor, a playwright, an author, a musician, a game designer, or a journalist.

Dean was preceded in death by his father, and brother, Brian.

Dean is survived by his mother, Beverly; his brother Chris and his wife Robin; his sister-in-law Natalie Bolin; nephews Jonathon Bolin and his wife, Mika; Joey Bolin and his wife Becca; nieces Morgan and Skye Bolin, and great-nephew Luke Bolin.

Dean’s wishes were to be cremated. The family requests no flowers or gifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an obituary?

An obituary is a written notice that announces the death of a person, typically including their name, age, date of birth and death, and a brief biography. It's usually published in a newspaper, online obituary platform, or funeral home website to inform friends, family, and community members of the passing.

Why are obituaries important?

Obituaries serve as a way to honor and celebrate the life of the deceased, while also providing essential information to those who need to know about the passing. They help to notify people of the funeral or memorial service details, allowing them to pay their respects and offer condolences to the family.

Who writes an obituary?

Typically, the obituary is written by a family member or close friend of the deceased, with the assistance of a funeral home or obituary writer. In some cases, the deceased may have written their own obituary in advance.

What information should be included in an obituary?

A typical obituary includes the person's name, age, date of birth and death, place of residence, occupation, hobbies, achievements, and surviving family members. It may also include funeral or memorial service details, charity information for donations, and other relevant information.

How long should an obituary be?

The length of an obituary can vary depending on the publication or platform. Generally, it should be concise and to the point, ranging from 100 to 500 words. Longer obituaries may be more suitable for online platforms or private publications.

What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?

A death notice is a brief announcement of a person's passing, usually including only basic information such as name, age, and date of death. An obituary is a more detailed and personalized tribute that celebrates the person's life and accomplishments.

Can I write my own obituary?

Yes, you can write your own obituary in advance. This can be a therapeutic exercise that allows you to reflect on your life and legacy. However, it's essential to keep in mind that your family or executor may make changes or additions after your passing.

How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper?

Contact the newspaper's obituary department directly to inquire about their submission process and guidelines. Be prepared to provide the necessary information and payment for publication.

Can I publish an obituary online?

Yes, there are many online platforms that allow you to publish an obituary, such as Legacy.com, Tributes.com, or FuneralHome.com. These platforms often offer additional features like guest books, photo uploads, and donation links.

What is a living obituary?

A living obituary is a biographical sketch written about someone who is still alive. It's often used as a way to celebrate milestones or achievements during a person's lifetime.

Can I write an anonymous obituary?

In most cases, it's not recommended to write an anonymous obituary. Obituaries are meant to be a public tribute to the deceased, and anonymity can make it difficult for readers to connect with the person being honored.

How do I find old obituaries?

You can search online archives of newspapers or genealogy websites like Ancestry.com or FamilySearch.org. Local libraries or historical societies may also have archives of old newspapers that can be searched manually.

Can I republish an old obituary?

A condolence message should express sympathy and support for the grieving family. Keep it brief, sincere, and respectful, avoiding clichés or insensitive comments.

Can I include charitable donations in an obituary?

Yes, many families choose to include information about charitable donations in lieu of flowers in the obituary. This allows friends and acquaintances to make a meaningful contribution in memory of the deceased.

What is the difference between a eulogy and an obituary?

A eulogy is a spoken tribute delivered at a funeral or memorial service, while an obituary is a written notice published in a newspaper or online platform. Both serve as ways to honor and celebrate the life of the deceased.

Can I include humor in an obituary?

Yes, humor can be an appropriate way to celebrate the personality and spirit of the deceased. However, be mindful of tone and audience when incorporating humor into an obituary.

Can I create a video obiturary?

Yes, some online platforms offer video obiturary options that allow you to create a multimedia tribute featuring photos, music, and narration. This can be a unique way to celebrate the life of the deceased.
