Such sad news, especially this close to Christmas.

What a lovely chap he was

I am thinking of Deacon and his family today.

I hope they take comfort knowing he is no longer in pain. I certainly do.

Rest in peace dear Deacon.

Farewell Deacon

I’m so sad to hear this.
Last time I took time out from Lit, I eventually returned to discover a dear friend had died and was so upset by this. I know plenty will feel the same now too.
Always a tough time.

RIP Deacon......

Our last conversation was so crazy intense. One thing we talked about tho was Sunbunny and a few other Litsters we have lost. Oh the party they threw Deacon. Thank you for listening to the things in my head. You helped me work through so many things. Ill miss you my confidant.

I hate cancer so intensely..it is so personal. I feel honored to have known Deacon for a time and have his family in my thoughts and prayers. Deacon will be sorely missed!

 

[PrettyLilPussy19]

I heard the news and wanted to pop in briefly to send my condolences.

We never talked much but he was loved and admired by many. Sending love and peace to those left to kept his memory alive.

Cancer sucks. Grief is hard.

He's gone. RIP, my dear friend. So many people love you. There's a huge hole in our universe tonight.

No more pain.

RIP Deacon. We will all miss you.

Another Litster slips away

Like PLP, I wanted to pop in and express my thoughts. lowphat/Deacon was a good guy. He's been a fixture here it seems about as long as I have. Like me he was a homebrewer and we chatted about that a few times. We chased some of the same women too back in the day. We were never buds, but I think I can say that we had a mutual respect for each other. He seemed like a good Litster and a good human being as well. He was a good and involved citizen of these boards. His passing is a loss to the community.

Cheers, Lo

(looked it up, he'd been hanging here since joining in October of '02 - truly a fixture)

Deacon, when you arrive I hope that you can make peace with your dad and share a heavenly beer, also I hope somebody takes up your Dune Buggy project for you. Peace:

 

[Kat73]

This just sucks...

So may words, but can't really think of what to say. Thank you for your friendship, for the laughter, for the fun times. You will be missed more than you know. My love goes out to your wife and family.

I'm sad to read this, another family grieving the lost of a loved. l could never understand why God chooses to take his angels so close to a time when families need to be together. l am also grieving the lost of a family member., so l truly know how it feels ...my prayers goes out to Deacon's family...he was fighter and I'm sure he gave hope to many here that may be struggling with an illness whatever it may be....thank you for sharing your journey Deacon, l hope you are at peace. God bless you, you were an inspiration here and you will be missed dearly.

RIP to Deacon. Such a long battle!!

Bless all of you for supporting him

 

[Plane_Guy]

I was saddened to read this. I don't believe Deacon and I ever conversed, but he was a staple here. Having so many leave such heartfelt comments is a testament to the kind of person he was.

 

[sally_sparrow]

We never got a chance to speak personally but I've always enjoyed his posts. This is very sad news. Thank you for letting us know here of his passing. I am sure he will be missed by many. Rest Peacefully, Deacon.

 

[Leigh81]

Very sad hearing this
Sending to all his family & all his friends.

 

[OxfordJack]

So sorry to hear this - he was a fighter to the end.

Thoughts are with his family...

 

[Dogma52]

Godspeed, Deacon.

Fuck cancer!

 

[steelyblue73]

I’m so disheartened to see this. I don’t think we ever spoke but I hope you find peace and your family finds comfort. There’s a lesson here for us all and a reminder just how quick and fleeting life really is. If you’ve lived long enough, we all know that hurt and that lesson, but sometimes we forget. Work hard. Play hard. Love hard. Find appreciation in a new day, every day, and sunlight, in those who call you friend, in those you love and for those who you call the same and love you in return.

 

[Shi_One81]

Very sorry to learn of his passing. Years ago when I joined this board under my original name, him and SKS were two of the first people who befriended me. He was always very kind to me and we shared many laughs. I haven’t been on as much in the last year or so and we kind of lost touch, which I regret. Prayers to his family and friends, he’ll definitely be missed.

Beloved Friend to Many

My heart is sad and tears are flowing. Deacon was one of the kindest men Lit has to offer. A good man. A great friend. A true perv, who loved to play and tease, but who had a heart of gold. He was truly one of a kind and he will be missed by many, of which, I am one.

He was kind, gentle, warm, fuzzy, funny, and full of love. I will miss him greatly.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, his girls, and his entire Lit family. May he find the peace he so deserves.

A friend once told me of a poem that I think is befitting of Deacon's life:

I stood there at the headstone of one I love, and cried. Deacon Voss, with dates of birth and death, so neatly were inscribed. The thought came quickly to my mind, these years leave much unseen. Far more meaningful to me is the dash which lies between. The years within that little dash live on in memory, and represent the precious life of one who's dear to me...Ron Tranmer

Deacon lived his "dash" as fully as anyone. May he rest in peace.
Love you, Deacon​

RIP Deac
Fuck cancer

I knew he was sick but never understood how sick til I learned of his passing a little earlier. I didn't know him well but the people who did speak volumes about this loss. Knowing the quality of some of the people closest to him makes me wish I took the time to know him better. Rest easy Deac.

My father had cancer, and I almost lost a grandson to cancer. I am not good at participating here, so I never knew Deacon. But after reading what has been said by those who did, I wish I had known him. As Mr. bogey said, the thoughts and feelings people have expressed here speak volumes about Deacon.
