Dallas Michael Fox

Dallas Michael Fox, 28, of Bloomington, Indiana went to be with the Lord on December 29th, 2024 from complications with Chronic Kidney Disease. Dallas was born June 4th, 1996 to his loving mom, Hillary Lee Bryant Pate. Dallas’ birth parents are Hillary Bryant and Walter Stubblefield, but was also raised by step-parents Buddy Pate, Melonie Stubblefield, and Andrew Fox. Dallas grew up with his brother, Drew Fox, from his mom’s side, and also had three brothers, Walter, Matthew, and Jacob Stubblefield, and his baby sister, Grace Stubblefield, on his dad’s side. All of whom he loved to visit. Dallas loved life. His favorite things were to help the family with any and all technology, build anything and everything anyone needed, building the most complex Legos out there, teaching the family pets new skills, a love for the outdoors, and rooting for IU (Indiana University) sports. Dallas was an active member of Sherwood Oaks Christian Church in Bloomington, Indiana with his wife, Anna Fox. Dallas loved going weekly, he loved singing to the Lord. He loved dressing up for the yearly Sherwood Oaks Trunk or Treat, and he loved doing Operation Christmas Child with church where we filled shoe boxes with toys for the children to be sent around the world. He loved to help children in this way through this form of volunteerism. Dallas also loved being involved with Hoosiers Outrun Cancer by running their 5K and always went to support his Papaw, Darrell Bryant. Dallas is IU sport’s number one fan. He is IU basketball and IU football and represents them by never missing a game and for always supporting them. He bleeds IU Cream and Crimson and wanted everyone to know that. He always would never leave a game early no matter the score. Bloomington Indiana is a better place because of Dallas’ never ceasing love for the teams. Dallas has been through so much but always has remained so positive through it all. He received his kidney transplant from his mom on August 1st, 2000, when he was 4 years old after being diagnosed with Nephrotic Disease. He then had PTLD (Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder) which is a form of brain cancer when he was 8 years old. His kidney lasted until August 1st, 2021, when he had to go on dialysis because of Covid hurting his transplanted kidney. Dallas never complained through any of it, he never felt sorry for himself. He was the strongest person everyone around him knew. Dallas graduated from Bloomington South High School in 2015 and then was working towards his bachelor’s degree in the hospitality field and was working in the restaurant industry as well but had to take a break due to illness. He had passed managerial training and classes in this career as well and always planned to continue post-dialysis. Dallas met Anna, his wife, August 28th, 2016 and fell in love and got married on September 4th, 2021. They have an orange cat named Tiggles and a Golden Retriever named Shamsky together. They are soulmates. Dallas is survived by his wife, Anna Fox, his parents Hillary and Buddy Pate and Walter and Melonie Stubblefield, and adopted father Andrew Fox; His siblings, Drew (Nicole) Fox, Walter (Tatum) Stubblefield, Jacob, Matthew, and Gracie Stubblefield, Jeania (Brandon) Whaley, Heather Pate, and Stephen (Mallory) Pate. Nephews Walter Stubblefield IV, of Walter and Tatum Stubblefield, and Alonso Fox, of Drew and Nicole Fox, who he was the Godfather for. Grandparents are Cynthia Hettinger-Morries and Fern Farmer. And a host of Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and everyone who loves him dearly. Dallas is predeceased by his Papaw Darrell Byrant, his grandparents Lucy and Doyal Bryant, WR (Jack) Stubblefield, Penny Johnson, and Joyce Vest. Services will be held at Sherwood Oaks Christian Church (2700 E Rogers Road. Bloomington, IN 47401) on January 11th at 1:00 PM. The family will receive friends on Saturday from 11:00 AM until the time of service at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the National Kidney Foundation in Dallas’ name at Kidney.org in order to fulfill Dallas’ greater mission here on earth. This is an organization that affected Dallas’ life and that he felt strongly about. Thank you to all who love Dallas.
