Slade was born on February 24, 1967, to Jackie Winston and Shirley Ann Hector Dial of Bee County. He greatly enjoyed being an only child.

Grief doesn’t move on a timeline and neither does healing.

Even in seasons of loss, something new can begin quietly, gently, and in its own time.

Wherever you are today, may you find comfort in knowing that hope still has room to grow.
