Dallas was born in Hays, Montana to Matthew and Doris (Doney) DeCelles on January 4, 1956. He was known for his kind and gentle nature. A devoted family man, who cherished spending time with his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. He had a unique ability to bring joy to those around him most often with a crackle of a joke or lending a listening ear to those who needed it most. He had a way of making everyone feel special with the outpouring of his kind nature that touched many lives. His patience, kindness, and warmth will never be forgotten.

Throughout his adult life he worked as a painter and a cattleman. He raised three grandchildren, Victor, Neaveh, and Heaven with his wife, Charlene DeCelles, before her passing.
