Ronald Dalton

Ronald Dalton, of Covington, passed away Saturday, December 12, 2020 at the age of 78. Mr. Dalton was a kind, generous man who made friends with everyone and was a blessing to those who were honored to know him. He was hardworking and dedicated to his family whom he loved dearly – especially his grandchildren that he shared a special bond with. He was a simple, strong, and honorable man of faith. In Mr. Dalton’s spare time, he enjoyed cooking and fellowship, fishing, working in his garden and watching wrestling with his grandson and friends. After thirty-seven years as a commercial truck driver (mostly in which was for Vi-Mac Inc.) he retired and joined his son’s business. Mr. Dalton was preceded in death by his parents, Hazel and James Howard Dalton, Jr.
