Shon Patrick Deaton, a devoted father, grandfather, and lifelong Houstonian, passed away on February 15, 2025, at the age of 64. Born on March 25, 1960, to Patrick and Phyllis Deaton, Shon spent his life in the city he loved, making an impact on all who knew him.
Shon was a standout linebacker in high school, where his tenacity on the field mirrored that of his all-time favorite player, Dick Butkus. His passion for football continued throughout his life as a dedicated fan of the Houston Oilers and later, the Texans. One of his fondest memories was braving the cold at Lambeau Field to watch his beloved Texans take on the Packers—a game that, despite the loss, remained a cherished experience.
Beyond football, Shon was an accomplished welder, known for his skill and craftsmanship in his trade. He took immense pride in his work, building a legacy of dedication and excellence. He was also a lifelong sports fan, cheering for the Astros and never missing a NASCAR race, especially when watching alongside his grandson, Nathan. In his younger years, he was an amateur Supercross racer, always seeking the thrill of speed and competition.
Shon was known for his sharp wit, quick humor, and legendary “Shon-isms”—sayings that left friends and family laughing for days. He had a unique way of looking at the world, always finding humor in life’s moments.
Shon was preceded in death by his parents, Patrick and Phyliss Deaton. He is survived by his son, Steven and wife, Aydee, and grandson, Nathan. He is also survived by extended family who will miss him dearly.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor his memory by cheering on the Texans, laughing often, and embracing life with the same fearless spirit that Shon always did.
