Dalton was born June 8, 1993, raised in Jacksonville, Florida. He graduated from Orange Park High School, attended college at the University of North Florida. He worked as a lifeguard and store manager prior to moving to Harrisonville in May, 2018, where he worked at the Walmart Distribution Center.
Dalton was an intelligent, very kind-hearted person, who cared deeply for others, and found pleasure in the simple things; playing video games, being with friends, discussing history and spending time with his dog, Romoe. Dalton’s quick wit and sense of humor made so many of us smile.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Wayne Beaver and his great-grandmother, Burma Knowles. He is survived by his mother, Jessica Cooksey (Craig); father, Gabriel Gilbert; brother, Koby Gilbert; sisters Jadyn and Brina Gilbert; grandparents, Teresa Beaver and Marsha and Larry Gilbert; uncles Kris, Travis and Bill Gilbert, Greg Morin, and many cousins, whom all love him very deeply. Dalton has an amazing soul and will be missed greatly.
