Pete Adrian Dallas, 73, a native of Morgan City and a resident of Belle River 
passed away peacefully at his residence on Tuesday, November 12, 2013 
surrounded by his family and loving wife of 15 years, Dolores Breaux Dallas.

Pete's love for helping people brought him into law enforcement for over 30 
years with the Morgan City Police Dept and the St. Martin Parish Sheriff Dept. 
While he was with the sheriff's office he served as a public relations liaison 
and a marine patrol officer. 
Pete was also the first animal control warden for the Morgan City Police Dept. 

He loved life and lived it to the fullest. Pete also served his country for six 
years in the US Navy and was a proud veteran and member of the VFW in Pierre 
Part. 
A couple of his greatest hobbies were spending time at his camp fishing and 
shrimping whenever he had the chance. Pete enjoyed the time he spent with 
family and friends telling jokes and entertaining them even when it meant 
playing the accordion and harmonica. 
Pete never met a stranger and could make friends instantly. Because Pete was so 
loved and like by many he will be deeply missed.

"Pete we love you and we will never forget you."

Pete is survived by his beloved wife, Dolores B. Dallas of Belle River; four 
children: Danielle and Drew Sparks both of Belle River, Mitch Ringer and 
Michelle Collins both of Ogallala, Nebraska; three grandchildren and four great 
grandchildren; two nieces: Marjorie Soumeillan Taylor and Marie Lynn Soumeillan 
Olmos; two nephews: Richard Giroir Jr and Raymond Soumeillan Jr.; two brothers: 
Tony and Johnny Dallas along with numerous great nieces and nephews.

Pete was preceded in death by his parents, John Dallas and Clara LeBlanc Mills; 
two sisters: Jennie Marie Soumeillan and a baby sister; three brothers: Danny 
Mills, Louis Mills and Christopher Dallas.

Home beginning at 6pm until 9pm and will resume on Friday, November 15, 2013 at 
the funeral home beginning 9am until time of service at 1pm.
