Robert Delp

Jeremy Delp, 45, left us too soon on Thursday, November 20, 2025.

A devoted husband, father, son, and friend, his roles were numerous and meaningful. To know Jeremy was to recognize him as the life of the party, a gentle giant, and the protector of everyone. The only thing that could overshadow his stature was his heart and personality.

Jeremy was a warm-hearted individual with a deep commitment to his community and was a devoted teacher to children with special needs. He spent countless hours volunteering, dedicating his time to uplifting those around him and making a positive impact on their lives. In a selfless act of generosity, Jeremy has donated his eyes. This final gift would allow someone else to see the world, to witness the beauty he had cherished throughout his life.

A graduate of Glenvar High School in 1998, here he discovered his passion for football. He knew everything there was to know about football. Especially when it came to his all-time favorites, the VT Hokies or the NY Giants.

Family members who have predeceased him include his grandparents, LO, and Doris Grinnell, and Roger "Papa" Moore; aunt, Dianna Sheppard, and uncle, Leithan Grinnell.

Those left to cherish is memory include; the love of his life Tara Delp; their children, Hampton Delp and Corbin Delp; his parents, Felica and Ray Huff; his father Robert E. Delp II and his wife, Heather; siblings, Tara Migliarese and husband, Brian, Jordan Delp, and Randy and Tracy Powell; Aunts and Uncles, Sean and Emily Grinnell, Ronnie Sheppard and Lisa Grinnell; his beloved nieces and nephews, Cannon, Sophia, Haleigh, Kaleb, Madison, Scott, Graham, Cooper, Lyric, Maisie, Karter, Jaxson and baby sister. He also leaves behind an army of beloved friends and loved ones whose lives were blessed by knowing him.
