Delbert was born on July 26, 1944 in Huron to William and Iva (Brown) Peskey. He graduated from Huron High School in 1963. He entered the US Army on May 11, 1964 and was stationed in Germany until his honorable discharge on May 4, 1967. Delbert was united in marriage to Deanna Dilley on October 13, 1986 in Huron.  Over the years Delbert worked at Armour's, Swift & Co, Dakota Pork, The State of SD as an Inspector, Bales Continental, and most recently Terex until he became ill. Being forced to stop working was devastating to him but his will to fight cancer became his priority. Delbert loved to "junk". If it was scrap iron, junk cars and trucks, and old farm machinery, he enjoyed it. He was also known as "The Collector" in his family that kept most everything he came across and rarely threw anything away. Delbert enjoyed spending time with family and especially his time spent with his grandchildren. He was a member of the American Legion and Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church.
