Delwin was born with a very adventurous spirit. At age three he climbed to the top of a radio tower and had to be relayed down by his Dad and Uncle Everett. Growing up there was nothing that he and his brother wouldn’t do to make life fun. They loved to shimmy up trees and rappel down them. Riding bikes was a way of life for them. As he grew older, he developed a love for all things music, which included songwriting, singing, and playing guitar for his band, “Stone Holnam Cult”. He enjoyed shocking people and making them laugh. When he and his sister got together it usually turned into an all out laugh fest. He loved all of his family deeply. He was a hard worker and at the end of a long day of brick laying, his favorite way to relax was to go and visit with his mom and step-dad on their front porch. Towards the end of his life, his greatest and best passion was witnessing to others about his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
