Deen worked for the City of Beloit, at the power plant, with both his dad and his brother Dan, and later moved to Oklahoma, where he worked for Cooper-Bessmer for several years. He returned to Beloit and spent time working for R&M Parts, Cawker City Equipment, NAPA, and O'Reilly's as store manager. He also drove a truck, hauling grain.
Deen loved to race and be involved with anything to do with racing, including visiting about racing with anyone who wanted to talk about it. He enjoyed teaching people about cars and mechanics. He never knew a stranger. He also loved being the host, and would often invite his family and friends to his house for social gatherings, often playing dominoes, games or cards. He was known for his personal quotes and sayings.
He greatly loved his kids. Deen also cared and worried about others, even in his final days in the hospital.
