Big Leev, we're getting together for the last GSW home game of the season! Deano will be on the shot clock and Tree and I will be in the VIP section on the floor! We'll be thinking of you because you're the reason we'll be getting together and we'll be toasting you in the Storm Dome and eating some "Roe Dawgs" in your honor! Much Love! RIP Dale!

Well, it's still hard for me to believe that we have started 2026 without you! We got through Mom's birthday, Christmas and your 65th birthday, which was tough! I attended a GSW Hurricanes game last week at the Storm Dome! Deano got us courtside seats and access to the hospitality room! Of course, the last game I attended was with you! Definitely not the same! Lots of great memories of GSW activities! Stories flow and you're at the heart of it all! RIH "Big Leev!"

As we approach Mom's 99th Birthday, Christmas and your 65th birthday (on December 30th), I'm getting glimpses of you in everything I do! I've got great memories of services at Madisonville UMC, running up the hill to see Brett "B-Bop" "Bopper" (RIP) and the Cunninghams, you, Mark and me snagging a free Christmas tree from somewhere, staying up late wrapping Christmas Gifts and listening to music... then your Birthday, New Year's Eve and so much more! Thinking of you and imagining a big...

Mark, Wayne, Robert (Dad) and Dale Leever in front of the Oak Tree at 6628 Roe St.! Where it all went down! RIP D.E.L. RIP M.R.L. RIP R.E.L.
As we approach Thanksgiving in a year that has brought me and my family such profound sadness, I can't help but be thankful for the countless hours that I got to spend with Mark and Dale. I was so blessed to have 2 amazing brothers that were such wonderful role models for me both as kids and as adults! I often think of a trip Dale, Mark and I made to visit our older brother Glenn in Richmond, VA. He was a Rides Supervisor at Kings Dominion (the sister park to Kings Island located just north...

We recently gathered in Atlanta with Megan, Grant, Lauren, Robbie and Sabrina, and Eli. It was a great time with lots of love and laughter! Visiting the aquarium and hiking Kennesaw Mountain were definitely highlights! I would have loved to have been able to talk to you about this Big Leev! We also got a trip to SGI in with Bruce, Judy and Eli you were down visiting about the same time last year!!!
Miss you Bro!

Dale was an amazing brother, so incredibly supportive of a younger brother who has attention issues! He was such an inspiration and role model to me, he helped me in so many ways, as a basketball player, coach, teacher, and just adulting!
I was so incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to live with him in college to serve as an assistant coach under him and just be around him! He was a huge bright spot in my life, I got so excited when we spoke on the phone! We rarely went a week...
