Dallas Joseph Yeager, our beloved son, father, and brother passed away suddenly at his home on August 21, 2025, in Rainier, WA at the age of 43. He was born to Danny and Joelene Yeager in Olympia, WA on January 14, 1982. Dallas grew up in the north end of Tacoma and attended Jason Lee Middle School and Stadium High School. He graduated from Bates Technical College in August of 2008 after completing their Diesel and Heavy Equipment Maintenance program.
