He married Ruth LaRita Holley on June 12, 1955, in the Salt Lake Temple marking the beginning of 70 years of a loving and devoted partnership. Together they raised six children, Sally (Clark VanWoerkom), John (Molly Armstrong), Susan (Jim Flint), Matt (Kristin Geddes), Clay (Audrey Yorgason), and Nathan (Natalie Thomas).

Preceded in death by his daughter, Sally; parents; and siblings, Connie, Jane, Kent and Joe.

Raising prize winning Jersey cows, riding horses, hunting, and raising children were his passion. Dale spent much of his life working on his family’s dairy farm, where his love for cows and the farming life took deep root. His lifelong commitment to agriculture was honored in 2023 when he was inducted into the Utah Dairy Hall of Fame.

Beyond the farm, Dale devoted himself to public and spiritual service. He worked for the DDO in Ogden, served on the Farr West City Council for 17 years, and as Assistant Mayor. His faith was central to his life, he served a mission to the Northwestern States, as a High Councilman, great home teacher, and Bishop of the Farr West First Ward, where he touched many lives with his leadership and compassion. He was an example of the Savior Jesus Christ, whom he loved and served.
