Carl Joseph Deichmann

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Carl Joseph Deichmann, a remarkable man whose life was a tapestry woven with dedication, craftsmanship, and unwavering faith. Carl peacefully departed this world on August 23, 2023, surrounded by his loving family, at the age of 86, leaving behind a legacy that will forever echo in the lives he touched.

Born with a spirit of service, Carl devoted 41 years of his life to the National Guard, embodying the virtues of duty, honor, and sacrifice. His commitment to his country was an inspiration to all who knew him, and his contributions will be remembered with respect and gratitude.

Beyond his military service, Carl was an artist in his own right. In his woodworking shop, he brought to life the beauty of craftsmanship, creating exquisite furniture that graced the homes of family and friends. His creations were not merely objects; they were testaments to his talent and the love he poured into every piece. Much of his workmanship is on display at the Camp Mabry Museum.

Carl's deep Catholic faith was the foundation of his life, guiding his actions and values. His belief in God's love was reflected in his interactions with those around him, fostering connections that were rooted in kindness, compassion, and understanding.

Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of many years, Mary Elizabeth Deichmann. Carl's legacy lives on through his devoted sons: Chris Deichmann (wife Melissa), Brad Deichmann (wife Terrie), and Steven Deichmann (wife Denise). His impact extended to his cherished grandchildren: Tanner (wife Amanda), Tiffany (husband Devin), Katherine, Chelsie, Kayla (husband Ross), and Courtney (husband James), who carry his spirit forward. Additionally, his numerous great-grandchildren were a source of immense joy, each one a testament to the love he held for the generations that followed.

A celebration of Carl's life will take place on September 11, 2023, at 11:00 am at Cook Walden Funeral Home 6100 N Lamar Blvd Austin, Texas, providing an opportunity for friends and family to gather, reflect, and remember the life of a man who left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

In the tapestry of life, Carl's thread may have been cut, but the beauty of his legacy lives on, woven into the lives and hearts of those he loved and who loved him in return. May his memory be a source of comfort and inspiration in the days ahead. For those wishing to make a donation in Carl’s name, the family has suggested that the Alzheimer’s Association of Central Texas would have been Carl’s choice.
