Dallas Walker
1996-2017
Dallas James Walker, 21, died in a car accident, August 31, 2017. He was born in Phoenix Arizona, and lived with his family in Payson, Arizona since 2003. Dallas filled his life with happiness and love, always caring for others. While his life was tragically cut short, everyone knew of his contagious goodwill and that the life he lived was full. Willing to make friends with anyone, Dallas enjoyed being with the ones he loved and living life to the fullest. His parents, Darrell and Teresa, and brothers Dillon and Dustin survive him.
In an effort to extend his impact in the lives of others, we have decided to create the Dallas Walker Memorial Scholarship, a $1200 renewable scholarship awarded to recipients exhibiting extraordinary kindness and compassion.
