Delroy James, son of Leroy and Rita (Mlejnek) Christianson was born January 20, 1965, in Hankinson, ND. He grew up in Rutland, ND, graduating from Sargent Central High School with the class of 1984 in Forman, ND. He moved to Aberdeen where he worked at Sheldahl, Firestone and Pomp’s Tire Service. His last place of employment was at Molded Fiber Glass in shipping and receiving until that factory closed in Aberdeen.

Delroy enjoyed hunting, fishing, and working on cars. He liked to watch and cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs. But nothing brought him so much joy as spending time with his beloved grandchildren.
