John James Delaney jr

We mournfully announce the passing of John James Delaney Jr., who left this world on June 21, 2026, at the age of 63. Born on October 25, 1963, John was a cherished father, grandfather, and friend whose laughter and warmth touched all who knew him. John was a loving father to his three children, Sarah Foreman and her husband Aaron Coles, Carrie Delaney, and John Delaney III. His legacy of love and humor lives on in them, as well as in the lives of his three grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and pride. John shared many meaningful years with his former spouse, Barbara Foreman. Together, they raised their family with love and dedication, creating countless cherished memories over the years. Though their paths eventually diverged, their commitment to their children remained steadfast and strong. For over a decade, John was a beloved member of the team at Walt’s Chicken Express. Known for his quick wit and ability to lighten any room with a perfectly timed joke, he was more than just a colleague; he was a friend and confidant to many. His absence will be profoundly felt by his work family and the countless customers who came to know and admire him over the years. John was a man of humor and heart, whose ability to connect with others was as natural as his warm smile. He had an uncanny knack for breaking the ice and putting people at ease, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met. His family will hold a private ceremony to honor his remarkable life and the indelible mark he left on all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in John's memory to a charity of your choice, reflecting his spirit of generosity and kindness. As we bid farewell to John, we take comfort in the laughter he shared, the love he gave, and the memories he leaves behind. In our hearts, he will remain forever cherished and deeply missed.
