1948-2025
Wooster-Alan D. Deppe, 77, joined the cloud of cheering joyful witnesses as he finished his earthly race on Friday, December 26, 2025.
He was born in 1948 during a New York blizzard to the late Douglas and Marjorie Deppe. He graduated from Ketcham High School, NY in 1966, earned a BA degree in Biology from Hartwick College, NY and served his country for 3 years in the Army.
He was at Pinecrest Bible School as a student, registrar and principal during the years of 1973-1980. He lived in Florida for 14 years where he taught school, had his own business, Quality Vinyl Repair and was a Pharmacy Tech at Saint Vincent’s Hospital. In 1994, he moved to Wooster and married Cindy Hauter Deppe in 1995, who brought much joy into his life. He retired from Charles Rivers Laboratories in Ashland as a Quality Assurance Auditor in 2019.
He was a member of Freedom Fellowship Church. Alan touched many with his contagious laughter and faithfully put others before himself. He ruled his life with the knowledge of God’s peaceful truths.
He is survived by his wife, family and friends.
There will be no services, and he will be inurned at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Seville.
The Prince of Peace is celebrating his homecoming, and we will continue to celebrate his life.
McIntire, Bradham & Sleek Funeral Home, 216 E. Larwill St., Wooster is assisting the family.

Ah, Cindy, I am so sad for you yet so happy for Alan. I keep thinking, I need to tell my mom, and then I realize she knew before I did, and is rejoicing at his arrival in heaven, and I’m sure my dad is too. God bless you Cindy! Much love, Judy Goff (and Randy, of course)
Cindy, He was the best brother-in-law in all the earth. You truly have my sympathy. Alan is free and he will be greatly missed.

It was my privilege to know Alan, even for the short time that I did. You both are a gift to me! I couldn’t be happier that he is singing with the choir of angels next to his Lord! You have my support, love , and condolences. 💐💕

Cindy, I just saw this obituary and would like to extend my sympathy. I remember when you first met Alan and were getting married how much joy he brought to your life. May your loving memories be a comfort Thinking of you during this difficult time
Cindy,
My deepest, deepest condolences. I just heard of Alan’s passing today. Heather Johnson shared news of his passing to many of us who worked with him, and my email has been flooded today with SO MANY wonderful memories shared of Alan which makes us all smile. We missed him after his retirement and now he is deeply missed. Thinking of you.
I worked with Alan at Charles River. He was always so wonderful to talk to, and I always enjoyed my interactions with him. While I am sad he is no longer with us, I am overjoyed that his loved ones will be able to reunite with him in the presence of our Lord.
