John Dale Loye, 66, of Lebanon passed away on Monday January 5, 2026, at his residence. He was the husband of Catherine R. (Deyo) Loye, with whom he celebrated 36 years in marriage.

John was born in Harrisburg on August 7, 1959, to the late John Allen and Marianne (Chritzman) Loye. He was a 1977 Central Dauphin High School graduate. He was a truck driver for Feeser's Food Distributors. He was attending Lebanon Christian Fellowship. John cared deeply about people and had a desire for them to come to know the saving, keeping power of Jesus Christ. John had a passion for God's word, and he was known to many as a walking Bible. He was part of the men's group at church and was always there to give encouragement to others. The greatest enjoyment in his life was his granddaughter, Arwyn.

Surviving are his children, Abigail Loye, Josiah Loye, Hannah Sholly and husband Bret, and a grandchild, Arwyn, a sister Lauri Coe, and his stepmother, Sara Loye. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Beth-Elle Loye.

A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, January 9, 2026, at 11:00AM at Calvary Chapel, 740 Willow Street, Lebanon. Interment will be held privately. There will be a viewing from 9:00AM until 11:00AM at the church.
