Delbert Eugene Jennings

Delbert Jennings, age 59 of Cloverport, Kentucky, passed away on April 16, 2025. Born on November 20, 1965, in Louisville, he was the beloved son of Ozzie Ward Jennings and the late Halbert Jennings.

Delbert spent several years of his life as a dedicated truck driver, known for his strong work ethic and independent spirit. A proud member of the Portland Ironheads, Delbert lived life with grit, heart, and a deep love for the open road. He found joy in riding his Harley-Davidson, shooting pool, woodworking, cheering on UK basketball, casting a line while fishing, and relaxing on his cherished property. Among the greatest joys in his life was the bond he shared with his loyal dog, Riley—his "baby dog" and constant companion.

He is preceded in death by his father, Halbert Jennings. Left to carry on his memory are his loving mother, Ozzie Jennings; his children, Tara Lucas (Carl) and Andrew Jennings; and his grandchildren, Addi Lucas and Emma Lucas, who brought endless light to his life. He is also survived by his brothers: Lou Jennings (Kimmie), Halbert Jennings (Beverly), Harvey Jennings, and Kenny Jennings; along with a bucket full of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and countless friends who will miss his presence, humor, and strength.
