Obituary

David Dallas, age 66, was called to eternal rest on August 7, 2024. Born on April 20, 1958, to the late Matthew and Martha Dallas, David was a man of warmth, humor, and unwavering love for his family.

David was known for his vibrant personality, always bringing joy to those around him with his quick wit and infectious laughter. He had a natural ability to light up any room and was often the life of the party. On December 24, 1989, he married Pamela White, the love of his life, with whom he shared a beautiful journey filled with love and devotion.

David attended Harrison Central High School. His passion for life and skills led him to a successful career as a diesel mechanic with Rocking C Truck Lines, where he worked for many years. Additionally, he dedicated over fifteen years to working for Dr. Benefield, maintaining both the clinic and the home landscape with care. David had a passion for many things-cars, fishing, cooking, grilling, and fashion. He was known for his sharp sense of style, often donning his favorite boots and hats. His love for celebrating life was evident in the way he embraced every moment, especially when surrounded by family and friends. But above all, David loved to dance. His energy was contagious, and he had a natural talent for turning any event into a lively celebration!

David is preceded in death by his parents, Matthew and Martha Dallas, and his brother, Matthew Dallas Jr.

He leaves behind a loving family to cherish his memory: his devoted wife, Pamela Dallas; eight children, Donta Boose, D'Arco Patton, Thaddeus White, David White, Darius (Tiffany) White, Joshua Dallas, Tiffany (Shaun) Dallas-Sumrall, and Matthew (lkenya) Dallas; two brothers, Sylvester Dallas and Roderick Dallas; seven sisters, Mary Tillis, Juril Dallas, Edith (Henry) Turner, Beverly Parish, Elizabeth (Glen) Beaslev.
