David Duane Bean, age 77, of Miles City passed away peacefully on the evening of December 31, 2017 (New Year’s Eve) at the VA Community Living Center of natural causes. Dave was comforted by family members singing his favorite gospel hymns.
David was the seventh of eight children born to the late Alvin and Anna (Nelson) Bean on April 9, 1940. Dave grew up in Williston, North Dakota and graduated from Williston High School in 1958. Shortly after graduation, he enlisted in the United States Navy in San Diego, CA, where he served for a short period of time.
Dave married his high school sweetheart, Betty Jensen daughter of the late Alfred and Marguerite Jensen, on August 26, 1960. In 1961 they moved to Salt Lake City and started their family. They had seven children: Vicky, Michael, Richard, J.R., Mark, Matthew and Anna. In 1970, their first three children passed away in a tragic accident.
After moving to Salt Lake City, Dave worked at various jobs. He went into the tire business and opened his own “Dave Bean Tire” in Murray, Utah. In 1986 he decided to move to Miles City, a smaller place to raise his family. Dave purchased a building on main street from Chuck Walters and started Rolling Rubber. Dave loved the tire business and the personal touch he gave his customers at Rolling Rubber.
Dave enjoyed boating, fishing and camping with his family. In his later years he enjoyed puzzles, his afternoon Milky Way candy bars and looked forward to his grandchildren coming to spend time with him. He was an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church.
