Delbert Timmerman, 66, of Mingus, Texas, formerly of Glen Rose, went home to be with his Lord on Thursday, September 24, 2020, at his home in Mingus, Texas. Services will be on Saturday, October 3, 2020 at 10 am at Wiley Funeral Home in Glen Rose, Texas. Family will greet friends from 9 am until service time. Interment will follow at George’s Creek Cemetery.

Delbert was born on March 19, 1954 in Arlington, Texas, son to Molly and Delbert Timmerman.  As a teen and young adult, he LOVED to dance and rodeo.

Delbert was a truck driver at heart since he was 19. He always went back to driving a truck (18-wheeler); something about the open road always called to him. He actually started out of necessity as his father D.O. owned feed mills in Walnut Springs and Glen Rose and he hauled feed across Texas.

He became a believer later in life and always told his family he spent his mornings talking to the LORD while having his morning coffee and enjoying all that GOD had created.

Delbert spent numerous hours in retirement working to fundraise for the EOD, Explosive Ordinance Device division of the military. He actually had hosted a benefit (EOD Warrior Foundation fundraiser in Mingus) the weekend before he passed. He became aware of this group when he worked directly with them as a military contractor in Iraq for many years. He was a civilian contractor who supported the military and, by doing so, his country.

He loved to travel, whether it be through Texas on his motorcycle, seeing the sights across this great country, or traveling internationally later in life. He thought this world needed to be seen.

Survived by:  daughter and son in law:  Amy & Bryan Hinkle; granddaughters: Camryn & Makynna Hinkle; son and daughter in law: Keri & Natalie Timmerman;  grandchildren:  Addison, Doak, and Brock Timmerman; siblings: Losey Timmerman and Gayla Timmerman, Mellissia Rose and husband Curtis Rose, Molly Hickey; numerous nieces; nephews; cousins and FRIENDS (he never met a stranger).

Delbert was an amazing man. His support to the Explosive Ordnance Disposal community helped saved lives as our operators worked to counter explosive threats. I first met Delbert in 2006 when our unit was deployed to Taji, Iraq. He quickly became a member of our military family. I am grateful I was able to know him. He will be deeply missed.

Sorry to hear of Delberts passing.Delbert was the first person to befriend me at Glen Rose High School in 1969 and I always remembered that and truly appreciated his friendship and he called me long hair and I called him cowboy but we still had some good times.He will be missed but he is only asleep. 1Thessalonians 4:13-18
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I knew Delbert since the fifth grade when he moved to Glen Rose. He was always laughing and smiling. We use to exchange records back then until he brought back my Sonny and Cher record that was melted from being left in the hot car! We both loved to dance and never payed attention in class! I do remember he asked me to a church outing in 1968, he stood me up but the church took me along anyway! Ha! Next day he said he got busy and forgot. Of course I forgave him! Who couldn’t! He will be missed by all, especially his children that he always bragged about! Sweet guy! And it WAS never a dull moment with him!
