Michael Dale McEuen Sr. (Dale) was born August 13th, 1965, in Little Rock Arkansas, to Fred B. McEuen and Rose Mary (Chavers) McEuen. Dale is preceded in death by his parents, as well as one of his brothers.

Dale spent 12 years in the army, and afterwards he spent 18 years working for Falcon Jet of Little Rock. If there's one thing no one can dispute about Dale, it's that there's not a plane in the sky he couldn't identify. He was a massive fan of the Buffalo Bills and had enough memorabilia to fill his whole house with it. Dale was very fond of animals, especially his little partner in crime, Tuna the Cat. He had a very eccentric taste in music, from the rock legends such as Ozzy Osbourne and Elvis Presley, to the outlaws Merle Haggard and Jonny Cash. He was also known very well as the family daredevil, speeding around on his electric scooter at speeds that definitely weren't the safest. Which says more about him than anything else, no sidewalk, ditch, or speed sign was ever gonna slow him down until he got where he was going.

But Dale was also a family man, one who enjoyed spending his days surrounded by his loved ones, especially his grandkids. He would spend all day playing along with the kids and made sure to spoil them as often as we would allow. And when the kids were off to sleep, he would sit around with his sons and their families to play cards.

Dale is survived by his sister as well as two brothers. But mainly, he is survived by his children, Michael Dale McEuen Jr, and his wife, Cassey (Galloway) McEuen. Along with John Michael McEuen and his wife, Rebecca (Worley) McEuen. And most importantly, Dale is survived by his 5 grandchildren, Addison McEuen, Emma McEuen, Melanie McEuen, Chase McEuen, and William McEuen. Along with his 6 bonus grandchildren, Dale Miller, Arie King, Abigail Wools, Alexis Wools, Waylon Bryant, and Magnolia Bryant. He is also survived by his dear close friends and family, in which he had too many to name.

Although we mourn his passing, we celebrate his journey to the very sky in which he loved so dearly.

Isaiah 40:31- "those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at 10:00am in the chapel at A Natural State Funeral Service in Jacksonville.
