Mr. Deaton was born August 3, 1963 in Cabarrus County. He was a son of Lynda Lynch Melton and the late Bobby Deaton.

Jeff met his forever, when he met Pam and the storybook love was born. Jeff was a hard working, dedicated, loyal man. In his down time his happy place was in front of the fireplace, spending quality time with those he cared about. He could always be found watching his Cowboys and his westerns, as long as a race wasn't on. Jeff loved with his whole heart and everyone who met him loved and respected him. He may be with the Lord now, but a part of him will always be here, carried on by those that loved him, and his legacy of love will live on through them.

In addition to his mother, Mr. Deaton is survived by his wife, Pamela "Pam" Carrigan Deaton; daughter, Alexis Deaton of Savannah, GA; step-sons, Tyler Jeffries and wife Lauren of Stanfield and Drew Jeffries of Zephyrhills, FL; brother, Eric Deaton and wife Karen of Toronto, Canada; step-mother, Doris Deaton of Concord; step-sister, Crystal Martin and husband Bill of Concord; step-brother, Eric Shaver and wife Angie of Concord; and six grandchildren, Ella, Elijah, Maddison, Leah, Hannah, and Noah Jeffries.
