Frank Avery Dalton, age 87, passed away on March 10, 2026.

Frank Avery Dalton, age 87, of Diamond City, Arkansas, went to be with his heavenly father on March 10, 2026. He passed away at his home with his wife and friends by his side. Frank was born on April 27, 1938, in Everett, Washington, the son of Frank and Gertrude Dalton.

It was rare to hear Frank called by his name, because he was known as Bud by his family and friends.  Bud was a truck driver by trade, throughout his life he has trucked all over the West Coast and Alaska, but his favorite job was driving log trucks in the Mountains of Washington.
Bud enjoyed dancing with his wife, Val.  They would dance at Silver Dollar City and in Yellville, Arkansas when they had Friday night dancing on the square. Bud and Val were members of a Gold Wing Club and had the pleasure of traveling to numerous states exclusively by motorcycle.  

He was an avid fisherman, often fishing with friends and teaching young anglers the art of fishing. He never met a stranger without a conversation and was a faithful participant of the Coffee Club at the local shops.Bud was a Christian who often spoke of his love for the Lord as he witnessed to others. He was an active member of the Frist Baptist Church in Lead Hill, Arkansas, there he participated in the choir, bible studies, and other volunteer ministries of the church. 

He is survived by his wife Val and three daughters: Kim, Traci, Heidi, and a son Jessie. Bud will be missed dearly by his friends and family. Now, he has been welcomed into his heavenly home by his Lord. A graveside memorial service is planned for March 27, 2026, at 11:00a.m. at the Milum Cemetery located in Lead Hill, Arkansas. 

Officiating the service will be Pastor Joshua Boyd from the First Baptist Church of Lead Hill.  
Arrangements are under the care of Diamond State Cremation located in Lead Hill, Arkansas.
