Dallen Lee Matney, infant, passed away Thursday, March 19.

Dallen’s very brief but beautiful life was unfortunately taken away by S.I.D.S.

He was a happy, thriving, advanced baby. His favorite book “Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom,” always put a smile on his face. He loved car rides. Most of all, he loved his family.

Dallen is survived by his parents, David and Heather Matney, sisters Kallista and Kalina, and his brother, Dustin.

Graveside services will be held at 1:00 p.m., on Friday, March 27, at Gilliland Cemetery in Sweet Home. The family will have a potluck meal at Sankey Park following the services.

Donations can be made to Sweet Home Funeral Chapel or to Dallen’s memorial fundraiser on YouCaring.com: http://www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/dallens-memorial/325565.

Sweet Home Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.
