He is also survived by multiple nieces and nephews who loved him dearly, as well as way too many friends to name, because to know him was to love him.

Dale was a beloved small business owner who made lifelong friends at every location he took on. Dale was a constant and joyful presence in his community. He was loved by many for his generosity, loyalty, and big heart. Dale was the life of the party - always ready with a quick joke, a mischievous grin, and a helping hand for anyone in need.....oh and that little squeeze.

He took pride in his Oklahoma roots and was a devoted OSU Cowboys fan through and through - Pistols Firing!

Dale will be remembered for his laughter, warmth, and unwavering friendship. His spirit lives on in every smile, every story, and every moment shared by those who were fortunate enough to know and love him.
