Help Support Dino: A Father, Grandfather & Friend in His Final Fight

Hello friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We are reaching out on behalf of David "Dino" Stubblefield, a beloved father, grandfather, friend, and community member who has always put others before himself. Dino was born on October 22, 1968, in Newport, Arkansas, and has spent his life giving back to those around him, never expecting anything in return.

For over two decades, Dino worked faithfully as a line chef at Pasta House. Many remember him not just for his hard work, but for the warmth he brought into the kitchen, always ready with a joke, a helping hand, or a kind word. He is a proud father of five adult children and grandfather to four biological grandchildren and five more whom he’s claimed as his own through love and support.

Nicknamed “Dino” after the Flintstones character by his granddaddy, the name stuck because it fit his vibrant, fun-loving personality. Dino is the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back, literally. He’s spent years transporting friends to doctor appointments, helping neighbors with groceries, and making sure everyone around him had what they needed, even when he didn’t.

Now, our Dino needs us.

On March 23, 2025, Dino received the devastating diagnosis of Stage IV metastatic pancreatic cancer. Despite a long battle with diabetes, this new diagnosis has changed everything. The cancer has spread, and doctors estimate he may only have 9 to 14 months left with us.

He is currently undergoing chemotherapy, but the harsh reality is that Dino is unable to work, and the financial burden is overwhelming. He is in urgent need of support to cover:

- Rent and housing expenses

- Electric and phone bills

- Medical costs not covered by insurance

- Car payments and insurance

- Everyday essentials for basic living

This is not just about bills — this is about giving Dino the dignity and peace he deserves during the most difficult time of his life. It’s about allowing him to stay in his home, maintain contact with his loved ones, and focus on creating memories in the time he has left.

If Dino has ever made you laugh, helped you through a tough time, or simply reminded you that there are still good people in the world — now is your chance to give that love back.

Please consider donating whatever you can; no amount is too small. And if you’re unable to give financially, we ask you to share this campaign and keep Dino in your thoughts and prayers.

Let’s rally around this amazing man who has given so much to others. Let’s help carry him through this journey with love, compassion, and dignity.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love,

The Family & Friends of David “Dino” Stubblefield
