LAGRANGE - Slade K. Dunafin, 27, of LaGrange, Indiana, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, at his home.

After high school, he worked in several positions before founding Pretty Valley Drone Service, a company specializing in aerial photography for real estate listings, commercial roof inspections, and project development.
Slade had a passion for classic trucks and cars, and he especially enjoyed restoring them - his favorite project being a 1978 Ford F100. He loved watching sports and was an avid Indianapolis Colts fan.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Raymond Hollar; and an aunt, Dawn Hollar.
