Dalton was genuine, unique and fun loving person who always had an adventure. He loved to walk around St. James and exploring new places and loved animals. Dalton was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and had a very high functioning brain. When Dalton liked something, he was passionate about it, especially his music. Through out his adventures in life he was accident prone. Trips to the Emergency Room with Dalton was a common occurrence. One of Dalton's adventures was walking across Interstate 44 however his attempt was not successful and Dalton almost lost his life. One of his injuries in the accident was severe lung injury. Friday morning he suffered a asthma attack that may have caused his death. He will be remembered as a fun loving adventurous young man who was a walking miracle and had a heart of gold. He didn't smile often but if you were lucky enough to be gifted with one of his smiles, it would light up your world if only for a minute. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.
