Dayton was employed at Broan NuTone Company located in Hartford.

His hobbies included hanging out with his friends playing some Dungeons and Dragons.

Other hobbies included video gaming with his fellow gamers and playing cribbage with family every time he was home visiting. Dayton also held a special love for all animals.
