Life story

Dayton was a child full of love and joy from his birth to his death. He always put others first and was quick to make you laugh. His greatest loves were Jesus and Football. He was unashamed of sharing his faith and many came to Christ because of his willingness to witness for the Lord. His second greatest love was playing football and being a Graves County Eagle. He played Center left guard on the offensive side and loved every minute of it. His life, however short it was, was one lived with a heart full of love, and his death left a loss is so many hearts of his family and friends. His legacy continues to live on.
