Obit : 

Delbert “Deb” Hyer, Jr., 78, of Flemingsburg, left this earth peacefully on Thursday, August 31, 2023.

Born in Chillicothe, Ohio on December 8, 1944, his parents were the late Delbert Sr. and the late Betty Hart Hyer.

Deb grew up in Chillicothe until his family moved to Flemingsburg in 1962. Deb began his career at U.S. Shoe in Flemingsburg in 1962 and retired in 1995. Deb’s musical career began in 1963. Deb started the band “The Debonairs”. A self taught musician who could play any instrument put in front of him, he had a voice and stage presence you could not forget. In 1967, Deb discovered he could play drums, guitar, saxophone, organ, as well as sing at the same time. This is when “The One Man Band” came to life.

Deb enjoyed performing and playing music more than anything. In minutes he could sit and write an entire song. Deb was an inventor and could make and fix anything. He was an artist, and loved to sit at the kitchen table and draw pictures, cartoons, and projects.

Deb is survived by the love of his life, Evelyn Sloas Hyer. They met at the water fountain inside U.S. Shoe in 1964 and it was love at first sight for them both. They had 58 wonderful years together.
