William (Ricky) Dalton, age 62, of Paris, MS died unexpectedly Wednesday, December 23, 2020, at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford, MS. He began his earthly journey January 12, 1958, in Water Valley, MS to the late James and Lavelle (Harmon) Dalton. Part of the well known Harmon family, he worked in a couple of the family businesses early in life. He began his career by hauling watermelons for Harmon produce, then later working for Harmon logging. Ricky later went to work for Big Yank in Water Valley as a “turner” until the business closed. Ricky was a down to earth, fun-loving, country boy as evidenced by his hobbies, which included fishing, riding four-wheelers, mud ridin’, and target shooting.
The family has chosen a private family service.
Ricky is survived by one son, Dylan Dalton; one daughter, Dana Dalton (Fiance' Hayden Self), all of Paris, MS; and one step-grandson, Harvey Kaup.
In addition to both of his parents, Ricky was preceded in death by one sister, Donna Dalton.
Dear Dalton Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss, and would like to share a scripture with you. The scripture is found at Acts 24:15 which speaks of a resurrection. Yes, God had promised to bring loved ones who have passed back to life on the earth. Many people find if comforting knowing they will be able to see their loved ones again. I hope this message finds you well, and brings the family comfort during this difficult time.
