Dexter Lee Foster

Dexter Lee Foster was born to Jesslyn Lee Foster Young and Alfred Young on October 6, 1970, in Dayton, Ohio. He worked for the Dayton country club and then at Mahle Behr for a number of years.

Dexter was a loving and protective father of his two kids Mylan J. Foster and Trevon D. Broomfield. He was always there to lend a helping hand and offer comfort to his kids, family, and friends. Dexter was the kind of person who never wanted to see you down, someone who always wanted to keep everyone smiling. He loved to keep in touch with family and friends and was always a phone call away to give a listening ear.

To know Dexter Foster, is to love him. Although he was a very private person, people always seemed to gravitate towards him. He loved his family and would go out his way to do anything for them. He was a hard worker, quite the comedian, a protector, and a support system for many of us. Dexter had a hard exterior but a heart of gold.
