Dale Ashley Schell

Dale Ashley Schell, 53, of Dallas, Georgia, passed away on March 23, 2026, after a long battle with brain cancer. He was surrounded by his loving wife, daughter, and family. Dale was born at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia to Mary Ann and Alfred Schell.

Dale was a graduate of Sprayberry High School. He met his wife, Tammie, while in high school in 1991 and married her, his high school sweetheart, in 1993. They were together for 35 years. He went to electrician's trade school through International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 613 (IBEW) in 1993 and remained a member for 33 years. He worked for TLS Electric for 7 years where he learned HVAC Controls. In 2000, he began working for Google as a Facility Technician Ill and was still employed with Google when he became ill.

Dale was an avid motorcycle rider, and he loved his Harley and having Tammie as his passenger. He had a passion for planning motorcycle trips to explore the United States. He loved his family and friends deeply and would do anything for them. It meant so much to him to give his whole heart and share himself with those he loved and who loved him. He was a devoted father to Kyle Schell and his partner Alex, and Ashley Schell. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mary Ann and Alfred Schell, his older brother Barry Schell and his wife Pat, nephew Wayne Schell, niece Laura Schell, and his mother-in-law Nancy Runyan.

He is survived by his wife Tammie and two kids Kyle and Ashley. He is also survived by his father in-law Larry "Pops" Runyan, his siblings and spouses David and Selina Hancock, Russell and Kelly Schell, and William "Peanut" and Susan Schell. His sisters-in-law Niki McConnell and her spouse Scott McConnell, Michelle Runyan, and Candi Snipes. He is also survived by 22 nieces and nephews, 21 great nieces and nephews, and 2 great great nieces.

Even after his passing, his faith in Jesus Christ continues to speak through the life he lived. It was evident in his kindness, his steady hope during difficult times, and the love he shared so freely with others. He trusted deeply in God's promises, and that faith now brings comfort to those he left behind, reminding us that his journey did not end, but simply changed. His belief in eternal life offers peace, knowing he is now resting in the presence of the Savior he so faithfully followed.

Since next weekend is the rebirth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we will celebrate Dale's rebirth on April 11, 2026, at 11 :00 am. Services will be held at Georgia Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery, 2000 Cobb Parkway, SE, Marietta, GA 30060. The family requests plants or donations to the Glioblastoma Research Organization in lieu of flowers.
