James Ronald Delk

December 29, 1943 - August 6, 2021

The family of Ron (James Ronald) Delk is saddened to share of his passing on August 6, 2021 at the age of 77. Born in the winter of 1943, he was a proud US Navy war veteran, having served in the Vietnam War from 1962-1968. He was stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin, serving as an aircraft mechanic on the USS Constellation until he was honorably discharged in January of 1968. Following his military service, he spent the majority of his career as a truck driver. He was the father of three sons (Ronnie, Sean, and Ryan). His passions included boats, motorcycles and researching family history. He was preceded in death by his former wife, Virginia “Susie” (Mattos) Delk. He is survived by his three sons, their spouses, and three grandchildren. He also leaves behind a boxer mix named Missy (Mama) that misses him very much. A graveside service with full military honors is planned at Belmont Memorial Park on Tuesday, October 19th at 10am.
