Deon joined our family in 2006 and was a loyal companion in our everyday life, our little shadow. He enjoyed a good bark and chase in the yard as neighborhood cars and people went by.  Deon joined us most places we traveled and enjoyed summertime pontoon rides at the lake. Deon passed away peacefully on April 6th, 2018, lying outside soaking up the spring sun, where he loved to be. We were lucky to have him as a part of our family for the last 11 years.
