Dalton attended Calvary Christian School, Hardaway High School, and Upatoi United Methodist Church. Dalton was a good athlete, and he excelled at wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, and boxing. He enjoyed the outdoors; usually he’d be riding his four-wheeler or on his new dirt bike. Dalton had a great sense of humor. He loved playing pranks on family and friends, and there are many who fell for his fake bugs and snakes. Dalton loved his family and friends, especially his daughter, Kadence, who was the light of his life. One of his favorite things to do was sit around a campfire and enjoy time together. Dalton had a big heart. He loved animals, especially his faithful pets, Ace, his dog, and Chip, his cat.
