He then built a fulfilling career as a skilled carpenter with the Garrett County Board of Education, where he retired after 22 years. He attended the Underwood United Brethren in Christ Church. Bud found joy in watching local wildlife, feeding birds, squirrels, and deer. He was an avid NASCAR fan and thrifter, delighting in the hunt for unique treasures at local shops.

Deckman and fiancée Annie Beckstrand of Albuquerque, NM, Wyatt A. Deckman and girlfriend Oni Francisco of North Las Vegas, NV, and Matthew S. Shaffer of Kearneysville, WV.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his two sisters, Shirley J. Sorensen and Bonnie L. Reall.

Bud's request for cremation was honored, and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. He will be sadly missed by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
