Dallas, 73, a native of Morgan City and a resident of Belle River passed away peacefully at his residence on Tuesday, November 12, 2013 surrounded by his family and loving wife of 15 years, Dolores Breaux Dallas.

A couple of his greatest hobbies were spending time at his camp fishing and shrimping whenever he had the chance.
