Dallas will always be our sweetheart - as a sister in ZTA at Rider College, Dallas was a joy and source of happiness for all of us. Eternal rest our sweetest of hearts, we send ZLAM Zeta Love and More Yvette Stoker, class of 1986

Dear Lynne, Maddison, and Dallas. It is with a heavy heart and deep sorrrow that we remember Dallas on the one year anniversary of his tragic death. You are all in our hearts and prayers as we live our daily lives.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Dallas' untimely passing. Dallas' younger brother, Doug and I were boyhood friends and we ran together in the same group back in grammar school and into high school. We all looked up to Dallas as a kind of older brother to us all. At a time when a few years' difference was a chasm, Dallas generously welcomed his younger brother's friends into his more experienced world as peers. I remember many good times with Dallas in LBI (Long Beach Island). He was a great fellow and it sucks he's left us. My deepest condolences to my old friend Doug and his family.

Lynne, I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this most difficult time. With my deepest sympathy, Mindy Wille

My deepest sympathy and many prayers go out to Stokes Family. Dallas , not only set an example for his family but to all who were lucky enough to have had the pleasure of spending time with him , he always welcomed you with a beautiful big smile. He will stay forever in all of our hearts and when you look up into the stars at night, look for the brightest star in the sky and think of Dallas.

As many of us in the American-Quebec snowmobiling community are pathetically unable to fathom this tragedy, we offer our condolences and we are however all able to make very sure that Dallas' memory serves to save other's lives, as we all ride safer with the hope of having Dallas watch over all of us, rolling along as tail-gunner. Peace,

My deepest condolences to Lynne and the family. I had the great pleasure in working with Dallas at Quest . As a perfumer working with a man who knew exactly how to meet his client expectations and having cultivated great relationships made my job that much easier. Dallas and I often visited Dial in Scottsdale .One visit that stands out in my mind was during a trip to Dial mid summer when temperatures were well over 100 degrees. We had arrived on a Sunday for an early Monday morning meeting. Casey and I were rehearsing our presentation by the pool. I hadn't brought a bathing suit but Dallas had an extra one packed. He offered it to me so I can cool off. Now being a whooping 5'2" tall I had to put the waist band just under my arms I order not to trip over it. I dove into the pool and it must have caught air. When I landed in the water the bathing suit was completely inflated looking like some sort of floatations device around me. We laughed until we cried. I'm so very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work as well as get to know this very talented and warm person. Dallas to all that knew and worked with you we hold you in a special place in our hearts. God bless Thom DiGiacomo

This is sad, sad news! I worked with Dallas at Firmenich, and remember him as a really upbeat, warm guy. I hadn't seen him in 20 years at least, but will anyone be surprised to learn that EVERY YEAR, when the Kentucky Derby rolls around, I see him in my mind's eye, gearing up for the big event! Funny how certain things can keep a person alive in memory. My thoughts are with his loved ones.

Sincere sympathy to Dallas lovely wife, children, family and the friends who will dearly miss this loving husband and wonderful dad. Dallas always wore a big smile and when he talked about his family - it got even bigger. He was truly proud of them and enjoyed being their biggest fan. Working with Dallas was always a pleasure and I never experienced a negative thought or word from this smart savvy guy who always made me laugh. The angels are singing, I'm sure, as this man who was pure of heart joins the chorus. God bless you my friend - you are and were the best! Ginny Roach-Leveto

Dallas was the ZTA sweetheart while we were at Rider together. Always there for each and every one of us, cared as much for his sisters as he did for his brothers and his own family. So many beautiful memories of his sweet smile and the joy he brought walking in the doors of our house. I am so grateful for the memories and for the smile he will always bring to my face when I remember those days.

Rest in Peace Dallas, the world is a better place having had you in it.

Our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to Dallas' wife, children and the entire Stokes family.... Dallas was a Great guy with a dynamic personality. Nobody we know could rock a pair of pink sox with a pink shirt like you could buddy! You will be sorely missed… Rest in Peace…

Dallas, I can't believe you will no longer be stopping by my office for afternoon chats, you always made me smile. Your smile is contagious and your personality larger than life. Your love of life and enthusiasm will be greatly missed by all of us here at Mane. We will never forget you. My deepest condolences and prayers to your family.

My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with Dallas at Quest.

We were so very sorry to hear about Dallas. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love, Sam and Patti Ferari Monroeville, PA

Words cannot express the loss that I am feeling right now. I will truly miss you. It was a pleasure working with you for so many years, you were the one that thought me the meaning of true team work. I will always cherish the memories that we had together.

Prayers to family and friends. We lose touch with old friends along life's journey, but we never forget the special times. I have fond memories of Dallas and always appreciated his smile and kindness. God bless

Dallas was an elder statesman at Phi Psi at Rider College. He was always friendly with everyone and always had great stories to tell all. Never took himself too seriously. Had a great zest for life. Even though I haven't seen him in over 20 years, I will always remember Dallas Stokes. Live ever...

Dallas, there are no words to express how much you will be missed. It seems like just yesterday I was your babysitter and then you got married and my son, David, was your ring bearer, and then just last summer we saw your grown and beautiful children at graduation. So many happy memories of a wonderful man who lit up a room with his presence. I love you and will miss you so very much. Your cousin, JoAnne.

Dallas, thanks for the laughs we shared, the lunches at Lockwood Tavern with John and Brad, and the lively discussions we had about business and life. I am sorry that we lost touch, but am happy for the time we worked together. Your laugh was absolutely infectious, which I always appreciated, and the world will be a sadder place without it. Your family and friends will carry your love and spirit with them forever.

Dallas, words cannot express the loss we all feel without you here. You lit up the room just by being in it. I am so thankful to have had the past three years working by your side. I will miss your strong leadership and constant encouragement, the sound of your cowboy boots shuffling through the office, but most of all your ability to create infectious laughter without even trying. You had a way of making the bad better and the good incredible. My prayers are with your family during this most difficult time. You will be forever missed.

Dallas - you were a great colleague and friend and I really miss all the great times we had at Quest International. You were taken from your family and friends much too early! I remember the great Macanudo cigars and your awesome wine collection. Pool party in my backyard when Lynne Stokes met Lynn Wargon - Rider classmates. Will always miss you and the great lunches we had together at Lockwood Tavern! Be at peace my friend. We all miss you very much! Richard Wargon & Family

Dallas, What a pleasure and lucky I had to have worked and shared some moments with you. I am still very shocked and all I can do at this moment is to pray for you as well as for your family to be strong and carry on. You’ll be missed my friend! Lucky were the ones that crossed your path. “Bye Sr” Ramon

Dallas, you were such an extraordinary man. You will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved you. We're praying for you and your family and you'll remain in our minds and hearts. May God Bless and watch over Lynne, Maddison, and Dallas.

Missing you already buddy, you were one of the good ones! With your larger-than-life personality, you were such a presence and affected everyone who came in contact with you. You're the one who got me to leave my other job and come to MANE- I'm here because of you! We wish Lynne, Maddison and Dallas much peace, love and support while they try to carry on without you. xo Wes
