Dalton Wayne Robison ended his life near his home town of Follett, Texas in the country overlooking his favorite hunting ground where the rolling hills and grassland prairie led to a windmill where the doves fly, Saturday, October 11, 2025.  

Dalton was born in Shattuck, Oklahoma on June 26, 2007 to Eric Robison and Katie Campbell.  He started Pre-K in Follett where he connected with life-long friends.  Although he attended many schools throughout his childhood, Dalton was a proud graduate of Follett High School in May 2025 and was honored to be part of the OG group despite his absence in the middle of his educational journey.  

Dalton attended grades 7-10 in Leoti, Kansas where he was free to showcase his confidence which helped him develop into a respectful member of the community.  The friends and educators he encountered in Leoti helped him become a natural leader and steadfast anchor.  

When Dalton moved back to Follett, he was welcomed with open arms and picked up right where he left off with friends, family and confidants who offered support and encouragement.  

Strong morals and old school values etched a lasting reputation in the minds of people who knew Dalton, peers and adults alike.  He lived a life of integrity free from pressure to follow the crowd.  He stood tall for the things he believed in and held on to concrete convictions while remaining comfortable dancing to the beat of his own drum.  

He was a thinker who enjoyed analyzing the big issues and developing his own opinions.  He prided himself on being a patriot and embraced the fight for freedom. He loved flying the Gadsden flag and embraced the idea that freedom isn’t free.

Welding was atop the list of Dalton’s passions.  His freshman ag teacher, Mr. Alm along with upper classmen, who he had the pleasure of competing in high school welding competitions throughout Kansas alongside, ignited his passion which pushed him to seek advanced skills and instilled a yearning to learn more. In turn, that fortitude afforded him skills beyond his years which he was refining while attending welding school at Frank Phillips College in Perryton.  Although skilled at running a bead, operating the cutting torch was his favorite.

Nature brought Dalton solace.  He was an avid hunter and outdoorsman. He looked forward to the BER months when he could hunt rabbits, and in the summer he liked catching them by the ears.   Deer season was sacred as he enjoyed a yearly week’s long camping trip with Papa in Reydon.  Lately he was honing his trapping skills and one of his adored past times was driving around scouting coyotes.  

Dalton taught himself how to swim and loved playing in the water.  He was always up for a trip to a local pond or lake to fish.  He loved sitting by a bonfire and socializing or listening to music while enjoying a hot dog…or a marshmallow… or maybe even just poking the fire.

Born with musical intelligence, the way to Dalton’s soul was through song.  He loved a vast range of music and could learn anything if you put it to rhythm.  He could recite hundreds of songs word for word and recently fell in love with Gary Stewart. He played the trombone in band during intermediate elementary and junior high.  

Dalton was also an integral member of the FFA officer team in Leoti as he was elected Vice President of the local chapter at the end of his freshman year and promoted the organization through his sophomore year.  He attended the Kansas State FFA convention twice and served as a delegate through parliamentary proceedings.     

In high school, Dalton’s generous spirit and kind heart led him to membership in Kay (Kansas Association for Youth) Club, an organization that focused on goodwill and community outreach.  Additionally, Dalton advanced with the trap shooting team to the state competition two years in a row and played basketball.  In his spare time he liked to work mostly for older farmers and ranchers working with livestock, fixing fence, and other odds and ends.  

Dalton was preceded in death by his grandfather Kent Campbell.  Survivors include mother Katie Campbell and father Eric Robison, sister Tye Robison, maternal grandmother Jodi McCoy and paternal grandparents Orville and Teresa Robison.  He is also survived by a host of beloved aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
