He valued family above everything, and his love for them was evident in every aspect of his life. He is also survived by Tabitha Delaney, of Stanton, TN, the mother of his children, who shared in the journey of parenthood. His parents, Leroy and Glenda Burk Delaney, of Stanton, TN, his brother, Johnny Delaney (Kim) and their two sons of Knoxville, TN, and his grandmother, Vera Watson of Stanton, TN will carry his memory in their hearts. Additionally, Stephen was survived by his girlfriend, Cindy Antwine, of Cookeville, TN. He also leaves behind his beloved cat, Ginger, who was a source of joy and companionship to him. His legacy of love, strength, and connection will remain in the hearts of many.
