Those I believe are the final words that I heard from Dalton. "Yes Coach". To me, that pretty much sums up what Dalton was all about. A very respectful and caring young man, who was always the first one there to pick you up if you were down. Anyone who ever met Dalton can attest to that. He was always a tribute to both Holly and Bryan, exemplifying what a spectacular job they did in raising him.
When I close my eyes and picture Dalton, as I have done many times over the past few days. Only one picture comes to mind. It’s a picture of a smiling and happy go lucky kid. In fact, I dare you all to do the same thing. Close your eyes and picture Dalton; you’ll see that same smile.
None of us will ever know what went through that young boys mind on that fateful day, none of us. He carried a sickness that no one could see. He hid it all too well. But that is not how I choose to remember Dalton, no. Personally, I will remember him by the image I see when I close my eyes. You know the one I mean. We all have a huge empty spot in our hearts today, I know I do. But I have figured out what I am going to do with mine. I am going to take that image and place it in that empty spot. That is where I will always keep it; it seems to fit quite nicely there.

| Michael - 2/1/2009 | | | I’ll miss Dalton he was the first person I went to on a bad day because he was always so happy. |
| Chandler Ives - 2/1/2009 | | | As I have spent all of my school years with Dalton, I have noticed one thing: He was always the one putting people in good spirits. Whether we were down about a bad school grade, or whatever it was, Dalton was right by your side ready to crack a joke which in someway would put a smile on your face. It was the things like this which made Dalton the truly amazing person he was. Almost everyone was close to Dalton, If you were to ask just a bout anyone in the 8th grade to share a story about Dalton, they would be able to come up with a great time they had with him. On and off the field Dalton’s great traits will be missed.
God Bless #6 |

I will remember Dalton for the rest of my life. I miss Dalton so much and I bet everyone else does too. I love you man. |
| Ben Nawn - 2/1/2009 | | | On and off the field, I could always count on Dalton. When I was sad or hurt, Dalton was there for me. When I needed a hug, Dalton was there to give me a hug. He always made my day by walking down the bus aisle and when i saw him in the halls with his huge smile. I loved it when he just out of the blue pulled random wrestling moves on me. Dalton taught me so much and i always could count on him. Dalton was a loyal and amazing friend, but an even better brother. I will truly miss him and will always be thinking of him and praying for the rest of my life. My whole family’s and my hearts go out to Dalton and of course your whole family. Dalton Fenn will never be forgotten by any of us and especially me. I am really going to miss my daily " I love you bro" and hugs. But he rests in my heart so i know that he will always be there to help be back up when i am down. I Love you all and i am here for support and i will always and forever will love Dalton. |
| Evan v - 2/1/2009 | | | I had only known Dalton for two years and he became a brother to me. Whenever i was down he was there for me and everyone. I just know that if Dalton hd one more chance he would never have done what he did that night. I cant stop thinking of him, and when i do he is always smiling. I look back at all the pictures of him and yes he is smiling. I will never forget him. I love him. GOD BLESSDF# 6 |
| Evan M. - 2/1/2009 | | | Dalton was a great kid at school and on the football field. he always cheered me up when i was sad. Every day i would walk into L.A and he would be there to say hey evan whats up? He always seemed to find a way to make that class the best one. We are all going to miss him so much. I cant stop thinking about him. Our family’s hopes and prayers are going out to dalton and his family. He was such a great kid and i’m going to miss him. I love you man |
| Teddy #92 - 2/1/2009 | | | I knew Dalton from the football team. He was a great player and was always very kind and helpful to all the players. My family and I send you our deepest sympathies at this difficult time. |
| Coach Barrington - 2/2/2009 | | | To the friends, family and extended Bow Youth Football family of Dalton Fenn.
It’s important for everyone to remember that this is the time to celebrate Dalton’s life, remember how he has touched us all, remember Dalton’s infectious smile, and commitment that he made on the field. I will remember Dalton as a kind and considerate football player, who often helped younger players whenever asked.
I have nothing but heart felt memories of Dalton, both on and off the field. It was an absolute pleasure to have known Dalton on a personal level. I will always have a special place for him in my heart.
I know that Dalton is in a better place, looking down upon his friends and family, still smiling, and leading the bulldog cheer. I know that Dalton has a special purpose if not hear on earth, but somewhere of greater importance, and only Dalton knows what that is.
Dalton, you may be gone, but you will never be forgotten, your memory will live forever!

| aunt Nancy & Tom - 2/2/2009 | | | Dear Holly & Bryan and family
I have no words that can make things better but you are in our thoughts and we love you very much --didn’t know Dalton as well as I should have but from what I have heard he is a great kid and will always be in our hearts |
| Dana and Will Allison and family - 2/2/2009 | | | Dear Holly, Bryan, Josh and Jeremy
We are so sorry about Dalton’s passing. Know that there are more prayers and well wishes sent your way now more than ever. Let us know what you need and we will be there for you. |
| Anders - 2/2/2009 | | | Dalton – I don’t understand, if you need someone or if any of us ever need someone, we can always talk, we all need friends. When times get rough, look to the future and look to the good times to come and the times in the past. You were a great friend, classmate, and athlete. If I ever get a chance to play football at the Bow High School and if I ever score a touchdown, that first touchdown ball will go to your parents and the ref better not take the ball back, because it should be yours.
Godspeed, Anders

| Michael Fanaras - 2/2/2009 | | | Dalton has been the niciest kid we have ever met. nothing will change our feeling tward him. he was the fastest player on the feild he was always the first to make the big tackel and bring the teams sprits up. his greatness and love for the game keep me going all four year. Dalton has been so great to everyone on and off the feild he is the reason i am going play football in high school. i was originaly not going to, but Dalton came up to me one practice and said "michael you have to play high school is where the real hitting starts where you can show people whos boss." Ever since Dalton spoke to me ive decided to play. he has never let anyone down, he has only brought people up. Daltons huge smile and love for cheering people up is what made him such an important asspet to this town, this team and this school. Dalton was alway there for me. If i got a bad grade on a quiz Dalton would be there to give me the best hug and say its only one quiz and you can fix it. Dalton was truely the greatest man i ever knew. He was an amazing footbal superstar, track superstar, and wrestling superstar. there is nothing that kid could not do, and if he did it he would with a smile on his face. I love Dalton and nothing in the world will ever change that. his greatness and amazing qualities will be missed. God Bless Dalton Fenn #6

Lots of love. |
| Kevin McCully - 2/2/2009 | | | When I moved here in fourth grade, Dalton was probably my first friend. Just seeing his smile made me feel better. Everyone knew Dalton, and although he wasn’t great friends with everyone, he was still known and loved by the entire grade. Whatever was going through his mind, now our thoughts need to turn to his family, and remember Dalton while keeping his family going through the loss. R.I.P. Dalton, and for the rest of the Fenns, we’re all here for you.

| Laurie Neal and family - 2/3/2009 | | | Words cannot express how sad we are here at BMS - as a member of the 8th grade teaching staff (science teacher) - and part of the 8th grade family, it is difficult to watch Dalton’s friends go through such a difficulty loss. He was obviously a special friend, a kind and supportive brother to them all. He made them laugh and never seemed to be without a smile to warm their hearts.
Although they have no answers to the "whys", only God knows what Dalton had in his heart. But it is clear that he did not leave us without knowing that he was loved, liked, appreciated, and would be missed by many of his young friends. I hope that you all will keep that in your hearts as you try to heal from the sadness and loss of your dear son, brother, grandson, Dalton.
With much sympathy and prayers to you all, Laurie Neal, Matt Neal (12), Michelle Neal (10), and Thomas Neal (their dad) |
| Nawn/Aiksnoras Family - 2/3/2009 | | | When Ben told me the other day that he wanted to visit Dalton’s parents, I was hesitant. It is so hard to know what to say in times like this and I didn’t want to intrude. But Ben assured me that Coach Fenn and Holly wanted to see him so they could hug, talk and present him with Dalton’s practice jersey and under armour.
After visiting with Holly and Bryan, I cannot express how touched I am by these amazing people. Even in the midst of coping with their own shock and grief, they have tremendous concern for Dalton’s friends. They are thinking about how these young boys and girls are handling the loss of their buddy and, for some, their "brother". As a parent, I cannot imagine being able to let go of my own grief to feel such compassion and love for others during this most difficult of times.
To me, this explains why Dalton was so loved and embraced by his friends and team mates. He was raised by two of the warmest, most caring, supportive, and compassionate people I have ever met. I feel privileged to know them. I am so grateful for the kindness and love they give to my son. He is a better person for knowing the Fenn family and for that I am truly grateful.
On behalf of myself, our two boys, Ben’s stepdad Tom, and our "Gramps", we want you to know how much we care about you and respect you for your courage. We will always be there to support you in any way we can and to enjoy better times with you in the future.

| The Lavigne Family - 2/3/2009 | | | We want to express our thoughts of sincere heartache for your family. Our son thought very highly of Dalton. He will surely be missed and fondly remembered. |
| The Espinosa Family - 2/3/2009 | | | Our hearts are heavy, our good memories strong. You will never stand alone and without the strength of us all. Laura, Matt, & Ashlee

| Chris B - 2/3/2009 | | | Dalton was one of the best football players i have ever seen, but most of all he has been a great friend. His smile got me through the day. Whenever i was down he was always there to pick me back up. His sense of humor cheered the whole town up. Dalton was the kindest person i have ever met and without him i will never be the same. His friends and family will never forget Dalton Fenn #6 |
| Coach Anderson - 2/3/2009 | | | Bryan, Holly and Boys, I would like to express my deepest sympathy to you all. My family and I have shed many tears for Dalton and your family. I had the privilage of first meeting Dalton 3 years ago on the football field. Since that time, I was able to watch Dalton grow to be a team leader and a great young man. He also is one of Jimmy’s closest friends. Dalton always came to the field prepared with a positive attitude and always gave 100%. Being on the sidelines, I would often hear the others players speaking of Dalton’s ability to get the job done. He had the respect of his team mates and coaches. Respect was also something that he gave back to the team. As Coach Ives said, when you close your eyes, you can’t help but see that smile. That is how we should all remember him. Dalton you will always have a special place in our hearts. Keep Smiling #6.

But i just look up to the sky and pray and think of u when i need someone to help me back up. You live in my heart bro and i will never forget all those great memories we had together.

Yes i will miss those great bear hugs but i know he is always looking down at me smiling. Dalton, loyal and amazing friend, an even better brother, I love him and I will never forget him. I was honored to know him. Peace & Love |
| N8-Dog Burgess #78 - 2/3/2009 | | | Dear Fenn Family,
I have lots of great memories of Dalton and it just hurts so much to know that he is gone. Please know that I am thinking of you and praying that you can feel at least a bit better knowing what a great friend he was and how much he meant to all of us. Just like everyone has said, the thing I will always remember most is his great smile and his special way of lifting up the spirits of any of us when we were down. I have great memories that I will always cherish. I think back to a movie that we went to see not so long ago. Here we were Dalton, Jimmy and Nate; three tough football players, passing the tissues as we watched the movie The Express. Another thing, there was something about Dalton and Chinese food. I think he was one of my only friends that could eat more than me! He could make me laugh, he was a true friend and will always have a special place in my heart for him.
When I saw this poem, I thought of Dalton and instantly knew that this was something I wanted to post. It touched me way down deep, kind of the way we all are describing the way we feel about him and just how much he meant to us. I am missing him and wishing we had more time together.
Smile down from heaven on us DF#6!
If Tears Could Build A Stairway
If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane
We would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know
But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times life still has much in store
Since you’ll never be forgotten we pledge to you today
A cherished place within our heart is where you’ll always stay

| The Vulgamore Family - 2/3/2009 | | | Dear Fenn Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Dalton was a great kid and an amazing friend. There was never a time where he didn’t have a smile on his face. His heart and personality could easily illuminate even the darkest room. Dalton will be missed very much but his memory will forever live on. Dalton, we love you. |
| Bemis Family - 2/3/2009 | | | Dear Fenn Family,
I’ve tried to send this message several times, yet no words come to me. I don’t know how to send comfort to you. If I listen to my children describe Dalton, they use words like "great friend", "awesome", "kind" and "happy". I guess this is what we all want for our children. I hope the good memories carry you far. Dalton will be missed by everyone, but will live in all the hearts he touched. He was obviously a special person that touched the lives of so many. We are so thankful that he touched our lives. Peace. |
| Matt, Monica Austin and Owen Cleveland - 2/4/2009 | | | Bryan, Holly, Josua and Jeremy,
Dalton touched us all in a very powerful way. We can only imagine your pain at his loss. We grieve with you but are greatful for the time over the last several years that we had known Dalton. He was a passionate and deeply caring boy and we will forever miss him. Although short, his time with us had a great impact. We are thankful for those many12 hour wrestling tournaments where our family talked cheered and laughed with yours. You are in our hearts and prayers. |
| The Robinsons - 2/4/2009 | | | Bryan, Holly, Joshua, and Jeremy: Know that you are in our hearts today and forever. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. When we don’t know the whys, we lean on the Who. |
| The Johnsons - 2/4/2009 | | | Dear Fenn Family,
We are deeply saddened by your loss. Dalton was a great kid, and his friends loved him dearly. He will be missed by everyone who knew him, and remembered fondly. Sincerly, Chip, Lisa and Mikey Johnson |
| Evan V - 2/4/2009 | | | The memorial service was amazing. It was so awesome to see all the great times that he had. I am so honored to have know him. In fact i feel bad for the people that didnt know him because they missed a great kid. It was so nice to talk with Mr. Fenn. He is not only a great coach but a great person as well. When the slideshow was on i didnt see one picture without out him smiling unless he was on the gridiron. I will never forget all the great times i had with him, and all the funny stuff he said and did. i loved Dalton like a brother. i love you man. |
| Billy Knapp - 2/7/2009 | | | I knew Dlaton for many years and will miss him dearly. When ever i saw Dalton he was happy, happier than I’ve ever seen, happier than all the people i saw that day he always made my heart brighten up when is saw him. God bless all who miss him.

| Michael Sapienti - 2/9/2009 | | | Dear Fenn Family:
Having been a student of "A Course in Miracles", which is a wonderful book on the truth about God and Jesus and the afterlife, I can tell you without a doubt that Dalton had an assignment from God that was pre destined. The hurt from all of you that you are feeling can be channeled into LOVE and LIGHT. Hard to explain here after two years of intense study in the course. I want you to know that there is NO SUCH THING AS DEATH. It is all we have been taught for thousands of years, that is until Jesus went to the cross to show the resurrection is real and the body leaves but the spirit or Astral Body moves on to another dimension.
I will pray with a master of mine in the course for Dalton, but more importantly put the Fenn Family in a bubble of light, only light can come to you,m and only light be there. Use this quote anytime you feel anyone and I mean anyone or anything is in harms way. They will be fully protected by the Bubble of Light you have surrounded with.
Also, remember the three most famous quotes that Jesus tries to convince his 12 Apostles with. They never grasped the concept because of the dogma and brainwashing thay ( and we) have all been programmed for.
1. The things I do, you can do and Greater ( We are all the Christ and have his power)
2. The Kingdom of Heaven is within you
3. You are the Light of the World.
Know this, declare it and watch your world change.
Regards,
Mike Sapienti
Peace |
| Cummings Family - 2/19/2009 | | | We love you! We will always love Dalton! We want to take your pain away. We know Dalton didn’t want you to feel the pain you do but he was somehow in his own pain.

You all are always in our prayers! |

| The Gallicchio and Desellier families - 3/14/2009 | | | We knew Dalton through Mountain Lake Campground this past summer and recently heard of his passing. We are so sorry for your loss and for the unimaginable heartache your family is going through. Although we did not know Dalton well, he was always a kind, caring and considerate boy at the campground. Our son is a few years younger and looked up to Dalton, when so many of the older kids would ignore the younger ones, Dalton was different. He often played catch and basketball with Justin, our son and hung out at the playground with any of the kids that might happen to be there. He had a great smile and was just a good kid. All of our preteen daughters had crushes on him because he was such a sweet boy. The kind of boy you were happy to have your kid follow around. We want you to know, that many of the seasonal campers who knew Dalton in the summer of 2008 are feeling your sorrow and praying for your family. Words alone can not express how much a kid like Dalton will be missed. Our hearts go out to you during this terrible time of need.
Heidi, chris, Justin and Kacie Gallicchio

| Jenn Muzzy - 4/1/2009 | | | Bryan, just received word about your son. So sorry for your and your family’s loss. Sending out prayers and hope you all are coping--Jenn Muzzy, now Staats, class of 1984 LI |
