It is with great heartbreak that we lost our brother, son and father unexpectedly, tragically on January 17, 2024.
Dale grew up in Bellevue with his family and was an energetic, hardworking helpful person with a big heart. He would help anyone, and he did that all his life. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone if needed.
After quitting school in grade 11 he worked at the Coleman Collieries Mine. After a few years at the mine his dad secured a welding apprenticeship for him at Bonertz Welding shop in Pincher Creek. Once he got his journeyman ticket, he set up his own welding truck and worked at Shell Waterton and local gas plants. He also took it upon himself to purchase a Kenworth and haul cattle for his father-in-law Bob Tourond. Being the hard worker that he was, he also had a successful log hauling company out of Grande Cache and eventually Pit Meadows, BC area. The people who worked with him said he was an excellent worker and great guy to be around. Dale eventually levitated back to pipeline welding and apprenticed many young men in the welding trade. Dale was a hard worker with a great work ethic and his welding career lasted 46 years.
He always had so many stories to tell, and they were so awesome to listen to. He could keep you entertained for hours. He was the best storyteller as many of his friends and family know, from many BBQ’s and gatherings.
Dale joined the Masonic Order while living Pincher Creek and thought very highly of the organization.
He worked hard his whole life to support his family. If anyone visited, they never left hungry or without a few drinks and stories, he was a very gracious host. He was also a wonderful cook and was always making some of his mom’s recipes, especially traditional ones like cabbage rolls, borscht and kapustka.
Motorbikes and snowmobiles were a passion of his and in his younger years you would find him riding around on his dirt bikes and going out sledding with his friends. There was always someone at the garage working on bikes, something our dad helped a lot with. He was not just a B pressure welder; he was a great mechanic and could fix his vehicles as well as being an efficient handyman. He learnt many skills from our dad and could fix many things.
Dale was an avid reader and when chatting often with his sister they would have many great discussions on some of the books and other reading material he enjoyed. They always ended up reminiscing about the days they were kids playing around town and the things they did with their parents and brothers and family.
His first marriage was to Kellie Tourond where they lived in River Bottom and then Hillcrest. They had a lovely daughter Erin together. Later, he met his next partner Carrie Cope and were together for 15 years. They had a daughter Lindsay and son Sean. His other friend of 15 years was Shari Adams who passed from cancer.
Lastly, he had his special friend Maggie Gilday, who would come, spend time with him and help him out as his health unfortunately deteriorated in the last year.
He leaves behind his beloved sister Jude, brothers Lyle and Howard (Leanne) as well as his favourite nephews Cody (Tanya), TJ (Cassidy), Cole and Alex, as well as many cousins. His nephews thought the world of him and just loved listening to him tell stories
