Dale Junior Carpenter

Dale Junior Carpenter, of Moscow, Tennessee, passed away on April 14, 2026, at the age of 92. Born on May 26, 1933, Dale lived a long, full life defined by hard work, devotion to family, and a deep love for the outdoors.

Dale was a loving father, grandfather, great‑grandfather, and great‑great‑grandfather — roles he embraced with pride. He raised coon dogs and was an avid hunter, spending countless days in the woods doing what he loved most. His stories, his dogs, and his passion for the hunt became part of the family’s shared history.

In his younger years, Dale once played for the St. Louis Browns, a point of pride he carried throughout his life. He later built a legacy of his own through his painting business, which he owned and operated for more than 50 years. His work ethic, craftsmanship, and reputation in the community were unmatched.

Dale leaves behind four children, eight grandchildren, six great‑grandchildren, and three great‑great‑grandchildren. Each one carries forward a piece of his spirit — his grit, his humor, and his unwavering love.

A public visitation will be held on Monday, April 20th, from 5:00–8:00 p.m. at Memphis Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens. Visitation will continue on Tuesday morning from 9:00–10:00 a.m., followed by the funeral service at 10:00 a.m. Burial will take place at Memphis Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens immediately after the service.

Dale’s life touched many, and his presence will be deeply missed. His legacy lives on in the generations he guided, the work he created, and the memories he leaves behind.
