Dale Walton Turner

Dale Walton Turner, born on March 3, 1945, in Greenville, South Carolina, was the beloved son of the late Walton Alvis Turner and Peggy Turner Mahon. A lifelong resident of Greenville, Dale graduated from Greenville High School and earned a degree in Electrical Engineering from Clemson University. He later pursued graduate studies at Furman University and served in the U.S. Army Reserves, reaching the rank of Specialist E4.

Dale’s curiosity and creativity fueled passions in radio, electronics, photography, and painting. He was active in the Amateur Radio Relay League for over 65 years and served seven years as Scoutmaster for Troop 710 at Rocky Creek Baptist Church. As a 28-year member of Aldersgate United Methodist Church, he volunteered in the children’s computer program, refurbishing computers for underprivileged children and local schools.

He was recently preceded in death by his loving wife, Beverly Clonts Turner. He is survived by his son, Brant Walton Turner (Amy); daughter, Amy Butler (Antwon); stepchildren, Scott Patrick (Lori) and Paige LaBorde (Mark); eight grandchildren — Emily Owens, Daniel Walton Turner, Eva Lewandowski, Nathan Harrison, Anna Harrison, Jack LaBorde, Jenna LaBorde, and Abby Thomason — and one great-grandchild, Hanz Walton Turner.

Dale will be remembered for his generous heart, inventive mind, and the many ways he quietly made life brighter for others.

A memorial service will be held at Aldersgate United Methodist Church Chapel at 7 Shannon Dr., Greenville, SC 29615, on Sunday, November 2, 2025 at 2pm. Dale will be laid to rest in Woodlawn Memorial Park following the service.
