Matthew E. Dalman, age 31, was called home to be with Jesus in the early morning hours of Monday, September 14, 2026.
Born May 4, 1995, Matt was a true “Gift of God”. Matt’s passion for life was a light to those around him. He enjoyed taking family vacations, going to the races and car shows, fishing, gaming, and talking about just about anything. During the summers, Matt would look forward to going to Camp Sunshine, participating in the talent show where he would share his love of music and singing. Matt enjoyed going to Compassionate Heart, where he was able to hang out with friends and share about the most recent video game he was playing. Matt loved staying active, walking his dog Shelby, taking bike rides with his family and competing in Special Olympics as an athlete in bowling, track, softball, and volleyball. Matt volunteered at the Critter Barn. His bright smile, full belly laughter, and giant bear hugs are treasured memories to those who knew Matt. Somewhere up in heaven he is shining his light on all of us.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Wayne and Jackie Glass; and grandmother, Shirley Dalman.
He is survived by his parents Eric and Julie (Glass) Dalman; sister, Morgan Dalman; brother, Tyler (Kenzie) Dalman; sister, Kathryn (Brian) Kingsley; nephew, Cooper Dalman; nephew, Benjamin Kingsley, and niece, Kaylee Kingsley.
