Not sure what to say?

My whole life I heard mention of the Rainwater family from my parents, and all with love, respect, and humility. When I later experienced personally this family I knew they were special. Condolences to Brad and the family and thankful for Mr. Rainwater and what he meant to all who knew him....

My prayers for the family. Deb was one of my heroes growing up. Always with a smile on his face and one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. Many great memories.

Delbert was a great friend of the Brannon family.

My condolences to the family. Deb was a good man. We shared the love of God, music, and the Calvarymen!

Always loved Deb. A great guy! The life of the Calvarymen in that era

Deb was a great man and friend the first time I heard him sing with the Calvarymen Quartet was at the old IMA Auditorium and I followed him for all these years. He was always very encouraging to me about my singing journey. Then to get the opportunity to sing in the Calvarymen Quartet he was so happy for me. Deb we will sing together one day in the Heavenly Choir and hopefully we can sing together in a Quartet up there. See you on the other side my friend.

I stood beside Del in the Calvarymen Qt. For many years, I loved Him and his Family, I know that He is still Singing.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will miss you ...Dorothy Glasco Cooper.

I am so grateful for 24 years of knowing my great-great uncle! Not everyone has that privilege, & I will truly cherish each memory I have of him. All my love to each & every Rainwater - we are a strong family!
