Dalon gay
CHINA GROVE — Dalton Gay, a rising senior at Carson High School, died on Saturday. He was 17.
Family and friends remember a young man who was hard-nosed on the gridiron, steadfast on the diamond, but even more steadfast in his faith.
“As they said (Sunday), he was a football player that played baseball,” said Michelle Payne, Dalton’s mother. “I think that accurately describes him.”

Friend Carson Furr added, “He was a football player that played baseball, but more than that, he was a Christian who played football.”
According to his mother, faith meant everything to Dalton, who was a summer intern at Nonprofit Baptist Church in Kannapolis.
“He was preaching their mid-week services,” Michelle said. “He was very much a leader of the youth in the church.”
Dalton’s family shared a video testimonial that he recorded a brief while back.
“Before I met Christ, I was always living a life of how could I be popular and how could I fit in,” Dalton said in the video. “It left me feeling vacant like I wanted more out of life. That’s when a friend invited me to DNOW.”
