Born in Oceanside, California, Dale's journey through life was marked by his enduring spirit and deep devotion to family and his Lord Jesus Christ. For 53 cherished years, he was the devoted husband of Alice Wade. Together they built a home filled with laughter, love, and shared adventures. He was the proud father of April Wade and Heidi Arr, and a caring father-in-law to James. Dale took immeasurable joy in his grandchildren—Ryan, Ariel, and Allison—whose lives he brightened with his humor, energy, and love.
A skilled machinist by trade and a craftsman at heart, Dale had a remarkable knack for fixing just about anything. Whether it was tuning up a car, winning a game night, or casting a fishing line, he brought his clever nature and fun into our forever moments. His love of music resonated deeply in his home and life, and his affection for pets showed his connection to and gratitude for God’s creations.
For 42 years, Dale made Hemet his home, contributing to the community and creating countless memories with family and friends. His legacy is stitched into the fabric of those he touched—through stories shared over dinner, games played with laughter, and the care he poured into everything he built.
He is also survived by his sister Nancy Lyons, along with many nieces and nephews, each of whom added abundance of pride and joy to Dale’s life.
Dale’s presence will be deeply missed, but the memories of his life will continue to inspire and comfort all who knew him.
Service location and time will be announced soon. Thank you
