Truck driver with cancer sings powerful uplifting song

Delvin Simmons Jr. was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer. In this footage, his son films him singing 'The Old Man Is Dead' by Del Way just days before his first surgery, taking him on his final drive in his beloved semi-truck. He has sung this song countless times in his little church in Vinita, OK. What an inspirational hero!

Brother Delvin I watched your video for the first time years ago and it truly soothed my aching soul.
Today YouTube randomly played the original song and I immediately thought of you. I just wanted to come by and say hi. Brother Delvin that Ole man is dead bur your spirit will live on because strangers like myself will carry a bit of it until we meet one day where I can say thank you for that night you brought me comfort. Rest in paradise.
