My mentor my guide. The man that taught me everything. I love you dad go fishing with your friends and family
My condolences to you and your family that you might find some comfort in knowing that he’ll always be around you looking down on you and taking care of you ..
Not sure who you are but thank you
I new Deon very well in my early years at Glendale Junior High and then latter at South High. He was very big even then, and we had a lot of fun together. I remember that he had an old Hot Rod Car that he used to drive around in. We had the same auto shop class when we were seniors, and we used to work on his car.
We had a lot of fun together. I haven’t seen him since South High but I remember him well. Be of good cheer as I know we will see him again!

I am sorry to learn of Deon’s passing. I sat and talked with him many times while he was a client of mine. I hope you have a lot to hold on to with the many many things he taught and held records of. So sorry for the loss. He was an awesome guy.
