Former Professor of Military Science Dallas Eubanks Passes Away
Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Dallas Littleton Eubanks, 57, of Mesa, Arizona, a former Michigan Tech professor of military science, passed away Nov. 5 due to complications following heart surgery.
Eubanks led Michigan Tech’s Army ROTC program from 2006 to 2009, and helped stand up the National Graduate Service Fellowship, a fellowship program for graduate students who had served in the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps or the military. Eubanks helped craft the program, which began in 2010 after he had left Tech.
In 2009, Eubanks retired from the military and began his new civilian career as a tactics instructor at the Command and General Staff College in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. In 2015, he was offered his dream job as a scholarships and enrollment officer for Arizona State University’s Army ROTC, where his career originally started as an Army ROTC cadet.
Eubanks was inducted into the National U.S. Army ROTC Hall of Fame in 2016 and the Arizona State University Army ROTC Hall of Fame in 2021. For both, he was a member of the inaugural class of inductees.
He is survived by his wife, Lisa; his sister, Nancy; his daughters, Hannah and Carrie; and his grandson, Woodrow; as well as many friends and extended family. Services were held on Arizona State University’s campus Nov. 12.
