Ames Paul Deaver

May 20, 1933 — April 13, 2017

Ames Paul Deaver, age 83 of Waupun, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, April 13, 2017 on his land that he loved and cared for so much of his life.

Ames was born on May 20, 1933 in the town of Waupun, a son of Paul and Evelyn (Merten) Deaver. He was a graduate of Brandon High School. On June 26, 1954 he was united in marriage to Veronica Schneider at Woodhull, WI. In 1952, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served until 1956. He was a farmer all of his life and also worked for Towne Construction before working at Mercury Marine for 30+ years until retirement and then he worked for R.A. Pinno Construction.

Besides his love for his family, Ames truly enjoyed nature whether it was gardening or hunting. He played softball for a number of decades into his sixties. Ames will be remembered as the most generous and kind character with a smile you wouldn’t forget.
