Dalton Wayne Layton, age 33, of Memphis, Texas, formerly of Clarendon, Texas, passed away on Friday Jan. 23, 2026, leaving behind an immeasurable void in the hearts of those who loved him. Though his time with us was far too short, the impact he made will last forever.
Born on March 14, 1992, in Dumas, Texas, Dalton was known for his ability to make everyone laugh, his soft heart and compassionate spirit, and his loyalty for the ones he loved.
Dalton loved roping with the boys, being a dad, picking on his sisters, loving on his mama and spending time at his Grommy’s. Above all, he cherished his wife, Morghin; his baby girl, Stetson; and his baby boy, Stoney, who were the center of his world.
He is survived by his wife, Morghin Layton; daughter Stetson; son and best lil’ buddy Stoney; stepdaughters Rhylie and Rhaymie; his mother and her husband, Kim and Curtis Guinn; sister and her husband, Leigh Ann and Victor Portillo; another sister and her husband, Blayne and Aidan Lopez; grandparents Sondra and Ronald Hatcher and Bill and Mary Jo Hodges; and grandmother Diana Layton; along with numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his father, Joel Layton, and grandfather Charlie Layton. While our hearts are broken, we are grateful for every moment shared and every memory made.
