Earl Dean Dale was born September 14th, 1936 in Wiseman, Arkansas, to George Washington and Lelar Dale. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers JD and Emitt, his sister Gladys, and his daughter Theresa. Earl was a faithful witness for the Lord and on March 06, 2024 with his wife by his side Earls desire to enter the gates of heaven and meet his Lord and savior face-to-face finally transpired. He had many visions of heaven and what it would be like and joyfully looked forward to that day. When Earl was not working, you could find him by his wife's side whom he loved with all of his heart. She was his love, his best friend, his soulmate and together they shared a love for farming, cattle, for gardening and spent a lot of quality time completing tasks and projects on the farm. Earl was always creating designs that would make every job easier. One of Earls most enjoyable activities was being in the mountains with son Micheal cutting firewood or just sitting around a campfire just to enjoy Gods creation. His grandchildren were the light of his life. You could find their Papa taking them for rides on the 4 Wheeler and letting them ride on the hay in the wagon to the pasture to feed the cattle, sometimes letting them win at checkers or sneaking candy to them when Nana wasn't looking. He is survived by his wife Diane Dale, his 2 sons, Dennis Dale, Mike (Nancy) Dale, his daughter Betty Dale, stepdaughters, Marcinna (John) Rath, Louinna (Duncan) Hundley, his 13 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter.
