Dallin Mangelson was the youngest of five siblings and had just turned 24. He was a welder by trade, full of light and joy, and always brought happiness to those around him. Dallin had many hobbies, including boxing and running, and was about to run his first marathon—the Shiprock Marathon—when a tragic car accident took his life. He was loved deeply by his family and had many friends who were more like family to him.

My parents are now facing the unimaginable task of saying goodbye to their youngest son. We need help to transport Dallin from Utah to New Mexico, cover the medical expenses from life-saving attempts, and pay for a burial plot and mortuary services. Every contribution will help us honor Dallin’s memory and give him the farewell he deserves.

On behalf of my parents and siblings, I would like to thank anyone that is able to help in this extremely difficult time. Your kindness and support mean more to us than words can express.
