Whether he was in the classroom, on the track, or in the council chamber, Jim Deane had a lifelong passion for building community. A long-time member of the Maple Grove Council, Deane served as the Mayor of Maple Grove, was a member of the Maple Grove Park Board, and chaired the Three Rivers Park District.
Jim spent his entire career as a teacher and coach at Osseo High School. He made an impact on the lives of so many, including students, fellow teachers, or other coaches. Some of his happiest hours were spent with the cross-country and track teams he coached for nearly 40 years.
In 2016, the Rice Lake Classic Run was renamed the “Jim Deane Memorial Rice Lake Classic Run” to honor his memory. The Maple Grove Community Organization is privileged to lend his name to this Maple Grove Days tradition.
