Edward Nelson "Eddie" Deep

Edward Nelson "Eddie" Deep, age 85, of Lebanon, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 08, 2023 at his residence surrounded by his family. He was born on August 08, 1938 in Lebanon, Kentucky to the late Edward A. Deep and Catherine Marie Deep. He is remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, as well as the proud grandson of Lebanese immigrants. He was so proud of his own grandchildren - Clay, Isaac, and Adrian Lanham, Abe Deep, Isabella and Emma Kerpestein, Frost and Orion Perry, and great grandson Rhett Lanham. In addition to his family and Lebanese food, Eddie had a great love of hunting and the outdoors, and enjoyed sharing this love with others. He hunted deer for 68 consecutive years, including 2023. He was passionate about wildlife conservation, and devoted time to the National Wild Turkey Federation, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and Ducks Unlimited. His wit and humor made an impression on everyone he met. There are many stories that he recounted through the years, and perhaps the most well-known is from his high school career. As a student, he was brave enough to drive his Jeep right up the front steps of Lebanon High School, only backing down when he heard the creaking of the old wooden floors. Over his lifetime, Eddie owned and operated several businesses in Lebanon, retiring at the age of 82.
Besides his parents, he is preceded in death by an infant daughter, Elizabeth Deep.
He was survived by his loving wife, Louise Deep of Lebanon; two sons, Brad (Carolyn) Deep of Coxs Creek, Justin (Melissa) Deep of Lexington; four daughters, Jackie (Neil) Lanham of Lebanon, Susan (Robert) Kerpestein of Louisville, Allison Deep (Ben Perry) on Minnesota, Mary Marleen Deep of Somerset; brother, David Deep of Louisville; two sisters, Sandra (Robert) Nally of Murfreesboro, Martha Ann Deep of Lebanon; eight grandchildren, Clay Lanham, Issac (JoHanna) Lanham, Adrian Lanham, Abe Deep, Isabella Kerpestein, Emma Kerpestein, Frost Perry and Orion Perry; great-grandson, Rhett Lanham.
