Dale Flitton Obituary
1935-2024
Salt Lake City, UT-Passed away July, 14 2024 at home with his family by his side after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. What high school basketball player gives up a scholarship to start a family? OUR DAD! He adored his family. We were so lucky to spend time together the last few years and go on some fun vacations. Thanks Josh for putting them together. Dad did amazing hand made Halloween decorations that made our house the favorite neighborhood haunt! The kids knew if "Uncle Dudley" was around, life was good! His big heart and kind soul was always ready to lend a hand or give what he had. He had a passion for all music, especially the cowboys! Dale was preceded in death by his wife, Jean in 2020. He is survived by his daughters Becky (Russ) Dabb; Brenda (Mark) Maldonado; Grandsons Dustin, Josh Dabb; Zachary "Rocky" (Cat) Maldonado and great granddaughter Berkley Dabb. The family had a private celebration in his honor.

I have many memories of uncle Dale and his influence on me as a kid growing up. Most memorable was his sense of humor. West High was playing Jordan High (who had a 6´10" all star) and after the game Dale said "I held him to 4 points but I fouled out early in the second quarter".
He was my idol. I even had my Mom and grandma Flitton give me a permanent and die my hair black so I could look like him
Dale was the last of the Flitton aunts and uncles and he will surely be missed

While we were getting our brand new home, my parents, (Glen and Betty), my brother and I stayed at grandma Flitton`s house and I remember getting up in the morning and watching uncle Dale eat Wheaties every morning for breakfast. He was a teenager then and had a zest for life, I always remember his laugh .

As a little boy I remember uncle Dale putting me up on his shoulders. I thought he was the tallest person I'd ever seen. Our condolences to the family.
