Dale Heck Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 5, 2025.
Dale Robert Heck, of Arnold, Missouri, passed away peacefully on July 29, 2025, at the age of 69, after a brief but courageous battle with brain cancer, surrounded by his loving children and close family.

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, on June 15, 1956, Dale was the son of the late Barbara (Wiedemann) Heck and Edgar Heck Jr., and the grandson of the late Alfred and Mable Wiedemann, and Edgar Sr. and Myrtle Heck.

Dale is survived by his three children, Brian Sr. (Kim) Heck, Kathryn (Christopher) Bowman, and Jamie Heck; seven grandchildren, Alexandra, Brian Jr., Dante, and Dominic Heck, and Annabelle, Nicholas, and Nathan Bowman; and two great-grandchildren, Braxton and Jeriko Heck. His siblings Sue (Bern) DuClos, Tim (Mary) Heck, Jill (Harry) Hough, Paul (Kathy) Heck, Amy (Scott) Celeste and Scott (Tracie) Heck. He was an Uncle, Cousin and Friend to many. He also leaves behind his beloved dogs, Wilson, Sophie, and Gracie, who brought him endless joy and companionship.

Known for his quick wit and love of a good joke, Dale had a remarkable sense of humor that brought smiles and laughter to those around him.

A celebration of Dale's life will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from noon to 5:00 p.m. at The Soccer Barn, 5382 Gutermuth Road, St. Charles, MO 63304.

Was so very sorry to hear of Dales passing. We know your pain of losing a brother. It´s hard, but find peace in knowing he´s not in pain anymore, he´s with all his friends n family that went before him AND that you´ll see him again one day on the other side. Prayers for all of the Heck family.
