Life’s Reflection

Dell graduated from Arlington High School in 2001. He attended William Harper Junior College in Chicago, Illinois and went on to obtain an Associates Degree from Lincoln Technical College.

Dell accepted Christ at a young age and was baptized at the Messiah Missionary Baptist Church. He went on to attend Serenity The Prince of Peace with his fiancé and children.

Dell loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a young boy and was a big fan of the movie “The Last Dragon”. But most of all he loved Football. He got his start at a young age playing “PeeWee” football at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church aka Tab. He had a great career in High School and went on to play Semi-Pro with the Indianapolis Hurricanes. Combining his love of football with his love of children, he was proud to coach two of his sons on Youth Football teams. His team finished this past season undefeated.

Dall was always the Life of the party. He would light up the room when he entered. Many enjoyed his animated story telling with anticipation of the voice changes he used to help bring the stories to life. He was a joy.
