Dale McCray Obituary

Visit the Henry Funeral Home website to view the full obituary.

Dale William McCray, 59, passed away on March 6, 2026, in Greenville.

He was born October 12, 1966, to the late Bobby Wayne McCray Sr. and Evangeline Rosette Campbell McCray.

Dale worked for B&S Contracting for twelve years. He enjoyed camping, riding his motorcycle, and spending time on the farm working with tractors with his son Dillon. He also loved jeeping and pushing snow during the winter months. Above all, Dale deeply loved spending time with his wife Shirley, never missing a “moment” to take a long ride on a beautiful day. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He loved his grandchildren deeply and loved being referred to as PaPa. Dale tried to stay busy and will be missed deeply.

He is survived by his wife, Shirley Jean Wallace McCray; his sons, Dillon Michael McCray (Jardai), and Chandler Allen Wallace; his daughters, Brittany Leslie (Koda), Brittanny Alviar (Francis Hugley), and Amanda Rhyan Wallace; and his grandson, Hunter Michael.

He is also survived by his brothers, Bobby Wayne McCray, Jr., Mark Anthony McCray (Brandy), and Ricky Lee McCray (Carrie), and his sister, Susan Elaine McCray.

A memorial service will take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at 4:00 PM, at Henry Funeral Home.

The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service, beginning at 3:00 PM.
