Delmar Duane Hinds of Dade City, Florida passed away at 65 years old in Zephyrhills, Florida with his son and daughter by his side on Saturday, September 7, 2024.

He was born June 17, 1959 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Alma Rinda Hinds (Johnson) and Doc Venson Hinds. Delmar had four older brothers: Kenny, Max, Junior, and Clinton, three older sisters: Lois, Carol, and Glenda, and a younger brother, Gary.

He was married to the love of his life, Deborah Lynn Hinds (Norris) for 29 years until her death in 2009.

He was both a USAF and US Army veteran and completed tours in Germany, Honduras, and Japan.

He was a Cincinnati Reds fan, a model rocket and space enthusiast, and enjoyed watching Nascar races with his wife. He liked working on small engines and rebuilding mini bikes. But mostly, he loved spending time with his family and playing with his many grandchildren. He shared his love for Jesus with everyone he met and many looked to Delmar for spiritual guidance and advice.

He is survived by his daughter April Hastings, his son Joshua Hinds, his daughter in law, Jessica Hinds (Norris), and his 7 grandchildren: Halley Hastings, Thomas Hastings, Leylah Hastings, Lucy Hastings, Debbie Hastings, Isaac Hinds, Olivia Hinds, brother Gary Hinds, and sister Glenda (Hinds) Robinson.
