A native of Henderson County, he was a son of the late Floyd John and Lou Annie Cauble Youngblood. Dallas was drafted into the US Army, where he proudly served his country for two years.

He was a born again Christian from the age of 16 and a devoted member of Hoopers Creek Baptist Church, never wanting to miss a service. He loved racing and Ford trucks and was selflessly devoted to his family, friends and church. He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Faye Wyatt Youngblood; one daughter, Tonya Youngblood; one son, Kristofer Youngblood; one grandson, Cody Ray; one sister, Virginia Brown and her husband, Kenneth; one brother, Wayne Youngblood and his wife, Beulah, as well as several nieces and nephews.
