GONE TOO SOON
Nothing on this earth was meant to stay, but there are times when people leave us too soon.
Dallas Dalton Schell passed away tragically on April 1, 2014, while traveling with his friend. He was a lifetime resident of Clearlake, Calif.. He was 20 years old.
He worked for his family business, Konocti Hills Construction.
Anyone who knew Dallas knows that his gentle spirit and love for the people in his life will live on. His generosity and big heart were inspiring to those around him and he leaves this world better because of the love that he shared.
We have shed many tears since he left us but we can smile because he lived. We can close our eyes and pretend that he is not gone, or we can celebrate all that he has left us.
Those who knew Dallas will allow his life and spirit to carry on in everyday kind acts that we share with others. He will smile every time we choose kindness, caring and generosity in our lives.
Dallas leaves behind his mother and father, Jenny Lynn and Dave Schell; numerous other family members; and many more people he loved like family.
