Yes. Usually deacon is only a degree before priesthood, but you can be so called "permament deacon". Permament deacons can't do things that priests can - celebrate holy mass, confess, but can (but it's not obligatory) be married. Person that want to be married constsnt deacon should have at least 35 years, finish special course, and if is married he should have permission from his wife. There is no difference between deacon that have to be priest, and deacon that will remain in this state for whole life.
