Michael Dalton

Michael Lee Dalton has been called home by his Heavenly Father and we come together to honor and celebrate his life. Mike was born March 3, 1957 in Santa Ana California to Harold Max and Rowena Thompson Dalton. He was the third of four children, one brother and two sisters. His education began with George S. Patton Elementary School followed by Chapman Middle School, Pacifica High School and Cypress Junior College in Garden Grove, California where he was raised. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was a boy scout and received his Duty to God Award. In 1976 Mike received his mission call to Brazil Sao Paulo South Mission. Mike followed his dad's profession of construction, but after having back problems, he changed to architectural design. He also started his own trucking company. Mike enjoyed dispatching and was told that he was "The Best." He loved motorcycles whether riding or watching motorcross, NASCAR, football, loud music, ATV rides and cooking better than the Iron Chefs. Mike liked to camp with his family and friends, but he loved to work on his computer. He loved his mother very much and would do anything under the sun for her and the rest of his family. He will be truly missed by his mother, brother, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and his many friends. Mike is survived by his son Grant Karl Klamm Dalton; his mother; brother Ronald Max Dalton (Jennifer Sipe) of Enoch, UT; sisters Kathleen Miller of Enoch, UT and Lynnette Hansen of Enoch, UT; and his nephews and nieces.
