Dale was many things to this world, a mechanic, a carpenter, a welder, and a fabricator. He was known for his ability to fix things. Dale spent his career in the Maintenance Field for companies throughout the valley but was best known in agriculture machinery, maintenance, and repair. He was a blessing to the farmers of Cache Valley and would work tirelessly to keep the farm equipment working.

Dale's best attribute was father, he was a comforting shoulder, a sounding board for an idea, and a phone call away when something broke down. He was always loving and kind, a great role model of patience, virtue, and love. He was a friend, cousin, son, and a brother. Along with a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a great grandfather.

Dad is survived by his eternal companion, our mother, Carolyn, his five children and their spouses: Glenn and Denice Floyd, Mark and Kristen Floyd, Janet and Greg Hudson, Kevin and Cathryn Floyd, and Eric and Meghann Floyd, his sixteen grandchildren, his two great granddaughters, an older brother Lafaun Floyd, and the yet to be born of his line. Dad's legacy will live on in those of his family, his friends, and the loved ones he has touched throughout his exemplary life. Our Dad - a giant among men, will be greatly missed, always remembered, and never forgotten.
