Dale R. Gunderson, 59, of Blue River died on Monday, December 1, 2025. He was born on March 30, 1966 in Kenosha the son of Robert and Maxine (Carlin) Gunderson. Dale's pride and joy were his kitties: Heidi, Holly, and Conner. He was a Buffalo Bills fan and enjoyed horror movies. In 1998, Dale was paralyzed, but he didn't allow it to keep him down as he rode his motorcycle from Blue River to Kenosha to see his son. He liked to play around and repair computers. It was a joy when Dale's sister and his niece and nephew came to visit him.

Mother: Maxine Shields of Blue River;
Sister: Brenda (David) Gallo of Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin;
