Date of birth: January 1, 1947
Brian knows that his success would not have been possible without his dad. His father wasn’t connected with motorbike races at all, and he knew almost nothing about it. Nevertheless, he supported his 10-year-old son Brian, who begged his father to buy him a bike.
He bought a bike, and then took his little boy to the races, having sacrificed his time, his after work rest and to some extent – his career. But now he can be incredibly proud of his son.
John Deegan III was born in the family of RoseMary Groetken and John F. Deegan II. He has 11 siblings. John was married to Mrs. Deegan during many years and welcomed three sons with her (including Brian). They divorced, and then John became a single parent, and his sons became his responsibility. He earned his living as a school superintendent.
Mother
Brian’s mother left the family, when he was just 12 years old. It’s hard to tell, whether they stay connected nowadays.
