Dalton was born March 16, 1995 in Norman, Ok to Tara (Wilson) Blackwell and Jim Blackwell. Dalton loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His passion in life was to share the message of Christ with all he knew. He was known by his big smile and bubbly personality. He always wanted to make everyone laugh and smile.
