Alvin Lamar Hale

Alvin Lamar Hale, age 77 of Calhoun, GA, passed away on Sunday, May 4, 2025 at The Fountains.

Alvin was born on October 29, 1947 in Bartow County, GA, son of the late William Elzo Hale and Deskie Margaret Amos Hale. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by a grandson, Isaiah Nance; and siblings, Ronald Hale, Donald Hale, Chester Hale, Katherine Hale, Patricia Corbin, Faye Hale, Wayne Hale and Amos Hale. He was a Vietnam Veteran of the United States Army serving in the Heavy Artillery. Alvin was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who worked tirelessly to provide for his family. A true daredevil at heart, he lived life to the fullest—racing cars and motorcycles, competing in rodeos, and running a horse and carriage business. He was an avid deer hunter who also enjoyed chopping firewood and spending time outdoors. Alvin proudly worked for the phone company in Dalton for 36 years. He had a deep love for football, especially playing for Adairsville High School in his youth, and later cheering on both high school and college teams. Known for his generous spirit, Alvin was always ready to lend a hand and never met a stranger. He loved the Lord and was passionate about sharing his faith with others—even known for his unique enthusiasm, like setting bonfires to bring people together. His boldness, kindness, and unwavering faith left a lasting impact on everyone he met.

Alvin is survived by: his wife, Sandra Dupree Hale; three daughters, Keisha (Shane) Causby, Kerry (Mike) Nance, and Keenya Rogers; grandchildren, Hanna (Josh) Waldroup, Austin (Gabby) Causby, Zeke (Grace) Nance, Isaac Nance, and Kiera Hale; great-grandchildren, Declan Waldroup, Dashiell Waldroup, Daxtin Waldroup, Isabella Causby, Annabelle Causby, and Theodore Causby; and siblings, Johnny (Dorothy) Hale of Cartersville, GA, Jeanette (James) McDonald of Harrison, TN, Sue (Clifford) Ball of Acworth, GA, Jean (Steve) Patterson of Rome, GA, Ruby (Dennis) Watson of Charleston, TN, and Gail Turner of Calhoun, GA; and sisters-in-law, Martha Hale of Cartersville, GA and Diane Hale of Calhoun, GA.
