Obituary of Dallas Rae Martin

Dallas Rae Martin, 29, passed away at her home surrounded by loved ones on January 2, 2023 in Osage Beach, Missouri. She was born April 20, 1993 in Shawnee Mission, Kansas to Russ and Cindy Martin. Dallas lived life to the fullest. Her life was full of family and friends who she loved with all of her heart. She had an awesome sense of humor and you never knew what she would do next. She loved music, loved to laugh and have fun. She played softball and her passion was being a catcher.

Fifteen years ago on January 5, 2008, Dallas sustained life altering injuries in a car accident. Since that day she has taught us all how to live and love. She taught us that love is not shown in a spoken word, it is shown by action. She taught us that the sweetest sound in life is a giggle. She taught us how to be a friend, the friendships Dallas made have endured through the years and are a wonderful testament to the impact she had on others. She taught us how to live life to the fullest, cherish every moment and to always BELIEVE!
