Dallas Kirby was born Oct. 3, 1978, on Bells Ranch in Mineral Wells, Texas. He was the son of Delbert and Phyllis Selck Kirby. On March 8, 2008, Dallas and Becky Petrick were united in marriage at First Congregational United Church of Christ in Anamosa. Dallas and Becky were blessed with five beautiful daughters. Dallas was a gifted artist in singing and drawing; he also enjoyed watching the Chicago Cubs and volunteering with many activities with the Jones County Central 4-H Club. He was also very proud of his American Indian heritage.

Dallas was a loving husband, father, son, grandson, brother and friend, but the thing he treasured most was the time he got to spend with his family, especially his girls. Dallas will be missed dearly by those closest to him.
