Delbert was born on June 7, 1937, in Cedar County to Howard and Violet (Fairley) Coppess.

Delbert led a troubled life because of pneumonia at an early age, but had good family care to help him through. He enjoyed playing pool and always made friends wherever he was. Delbert was a big Hawkeyes fan, and really enjoyed going to Ditto's to eat and see old friends.

He is survived by his brothers, Dale (Darlene) of Mt. Vernon and Darrell (Joann) of Stanwood; sisters, Darlene Flockhart and Deanna Schnipkoweit of Stanwood and Doris (Richard) McAtee of Wyoming; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Delbert was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Donald; sister, Donna Lou Rhoads; sister-in-law, LuAnn Coppess; and brother-in-law, Robert Flockhart.

The family would like to give special thanks to Hallmark Care Center, Essence of Life Hospice, Stanwood Union Church, and Chapman's for their care.
