We remember Delayne when he was late teens and 20s. He was my sister Kim's boyfriend for a pretty long time back then. We have good memories of him. He was a good person and we also had a lot of respect for his good Mother.
May God Bless always Delaynes children and comfort them in their season of great loss.

Shock & deeply saddened to hear the news. I will always cherish our friendship & memories of laughter we shared together - especially cruising Eastwood Mall. My thoughts and prayers going out to your family (especially Ryder) I know he was your world.

I will always have a special place for you in my heart. We had a lot of times over the last 20+ years. You are with some of your family and friends that were a huge part of you. But your smiles, laughter, and caring essence will be remembered forever. I love and will miss you dearly.
