Allen G. Dalton

Allen G. Dalton, 72, of Bella Vista, Arkansas, passed away on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at Circle of Life Hospice in Bentonville, Arkansas. Born in Independence, Kansas, to Clay and Caroline Dalton, Allen grew up with his siblings, Judy, Robert, and Arlene. His family was active in St. Andrew’s Catholic Church, and Allen often played guitar in church choir over the years. He enjoyed golf, karate, hunting, pickleball, and joking with loved ones.

Allen graduated from Independence High School in 1971 and Pittsburg State University in 1975, where he was an active member of the Sigma Kai fraternity. He began his career with E-Z-Go and moved to Northwest Arkansas in 1982. Allen and his father operated Dalton Golf Cars for many years before he spent 30 years with the Bella Vista POA, dedicating himself to serving his community until his final days. Allen proclaimed himself as the "Best Golf Cart Mechanic in the Midwest."

Allen was a proud father to three daughters: Jacey, Gina, and Angela. He dedicated himself to raising them in a home filled with warmth, support, and the values of hard work and integrity. His daughters were always his greatest joy, and he took immense pride in watching them grow.

Allen is survived by his daughters, Jacey Dalton of Springdale, AR, Gina Mitchell (Jack Mitchell) of Bentonville, AR, and Angela Kekahuna (Colton Kekahuna) of Colorado Springs, CO; his siblings, Judy Farver of Goshen, IN, retired Colonel Robert Dalton (Jennifer Dalton) of Topeka, KS, and Arlene Dalton of Independence, KS; 3 grandchildren, many extended family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Clay and Caroline Dalton and brother-in-law Larry Farver.
