Dale Gerard Radosta

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dale G. Radosta, who was called home to the Lord on March 26, 2026 at the age of 72, surrounded by his loving family.

Dale was born on November 19, 1953 in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Jerome and Rosemary Radosta. He was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished grandfather, and loyal friend. Dale dedicated 40 years of service to the United States District Court before retiring, earning the respect and appreciation of colleagues throughout his career.

Dale shared 47 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Pamela Radosta. Together they built a family that meant everything to him. He was a proud and caring father to Brad Radosta (Laina), Mandy Armand (Justin), and Nicholas Radosta (Morgan). Dale was also a devoted grandfather to Payton, Stella, Raegan, Rory, Rowan, Roman, Oaklynn, Owen, and Olivienne, all of whom brought him immense joy.

He is also survived by his brothers Jerome (Karen), Wayne (Terri), Don (Joan), Frank (Becky), Glen (Gail), and Mark (Jill) Radosta.

Dale was preceded in death by his parents Jerome and Rosemary Radosta and his grandparents Leo Frank and Philomene "Mena" Taranto and Frank and Maria "Stella" Giacobbe Radosta.

Dale will be remembered for his unwavering devotion to his family, his love of traveling and vacationing, and the many fishing trips he shared with his best friend, Steve Hill. He also found great enjoyment in music, especially the songs of Elvis Presley, George Strait, and Neil Diamond.

Dale's kindness, warmth, and love for life will be deeply missed by his family and by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
