John 3-16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Herman Ray Deloach, 80, Hampton, Tenn., went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, July 7, 2021, at his home.
A native of Carter County, he was a son of the late Bill and Lottie Byrd Deloach. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Dottie Deloach; brothers, Eddie and Emmit; and sister, Phyllis Deloach.

Herman enjoyed working in his yard and outdoors and spending time with family and friends. He was always Mr. Fixit, coming up with unique engineering skills. He was from the old school and loved the Lord and his family. He was a wonderful father and great provider.
Those left to cherish his memories include his children, Ray and wife Sherry Deloach and Anett and husband Greg Miller; grandson, Brody Deloach; sister-in-law, Kathy Deloach; and two special nieces, Holly and Kelly. Several cousins and friends also survive.
