Due to the circumstances of the pandemic the family decided to hold a memorial service at a later date so that the many people whose lives Mr Deak touched could pay their respects.

Coach Deak was an amazing coach, teacher and role model to so many Hammond kids as well as a great father to his own boys. He was very knowledgeable and extremely technical when instructing his wrestlers. He used terminology that we all could understand though. He was definitely ahead of his time. He was without a doubt the smartest coach I ever had in any sport.  Coach Deak led by example and I'll always be grateful for the character and discipline he instilled in me. He is the reason that the sport I once considered my second sport has given me so much and is my number one sport over 40 years later.  Thanks Coach
