Who was Dakota Blanton? She was a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a niece, a friend, a teammate, an athlete, a martial artist, a student, a dancer, an animal-lover, a dreamer, and an inspiration to all who knew her. She was blessed with outstanding athletic ability, and excelled in track, basketball, cheerleading and martial arts. One of Dakota’s proudest moments was at Super Grands 2007 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, when she placed in the top three in her point sparring division. She was an original black belt member of Team Unity. She set numerous school records in track, and won countless titles and awards in sport karate. Her love of athletics spilled over into her career path choice. Sports physical therapy was Dakota’s chosen �eld, and she had even earned an internship in the �eld of physical therapy. Dakota was not only a superb role model to her peers in athletics and academics, but also in life. She worked with community youth clubs, focusing her attention on gang prevention.

She had a passion for helping animals, and extended her community outreach involvement to include animal rescue e�orts. This impressive young lady is sorely missed by not only her friends and family, but also her pet Quaker parrot, Tommy. Dakota’s mom still has to play a recording of Dakota’s voice to Tommy to keep him calm. In Dakota’s short 19 years, she touched a tremendous number of lives. She truly lived the values that were instilled in her during her study of martial arts. Sadly, this promising, vibrant young woman passed away in a car accident in July 2013. Her infectious personality and zest for life will never be forgotten. Dakota’s memory will live on in the hearts and minds of all her friends, family and teammates who loved her.
