Joseph Deacon, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend passed away on August 30, 2024 at the age of 72. Born on August 14, 1952, in Louisville, Kentucky, Joseph lived a life characterized by profound faith, warmth, and a passion for adventure.

He devoted himself to his family and was an unwavering pillar of support and love. Joseph is survived by his cherished wife, Denise Deacon, and their children, Brad Deacon and Kelly (Michael) Davis. He took immense pride in being a grandfather to his granddaughters, Ashley Deacon, Kaylee Davis, and Chloe Deacon, showering them with endless affection and guidance.

Joseph was also a loving brother to Larry (Mary) Deacon and Daniel Deacon, and he held a special place in the hearts of many nieces and nephews.

A faithful Catholic, Joseph believed strongly in life everlasting, which brought him solace and hope.
