Four Years Later...

So here we are...almost four years later. Dallas would love how much his family has grown and I know that he's watching over all of us. I was remiss in not publishing an obituary at the time of his death. The boys didn't think it was necessary and yet I still run into people - almost four years later - that expect him to be next to me. These words commemorated him at the Invermere  Relay for Life after his death. I still think they hold true:

Dallas L. Stober
August 28, 1956 - June 1, 2011

Dallas was a loving, funny, brilliant, tenacious, extraordinary man. He was passionate about everything he did and showed everyone around him how to live life to the fullest and not waste a minute of it. He enjoyed golfing throughout the valley and as far away as Scotland. His love of fishing, hiking and the outdoors took him around B.C. and up to Alaska. He taught us how to live, and even as the cancer robbed him of his life, he showed us how to die. His energy and love of life was contagious and it lives on in his wife Patty and their sons, Marcus and Jordan. Dallas died of salivary gland adenocarcinoma (HER-2 positive), a rare and aggressive form of cancer, after a three year battle.

Miss you forever, my Big Guy xoxo.
