Praying for family and brother Dale\’s loved one\’s, my family and I loved him. He was our pastor, friend and was always helped us anytime he could. He did funerals for my family members. A Christlike Man with a servant attitude, always putting others first. I know he is in heaven with the Lord and is celebrating that he finished the race, but he will be missed here on earth. I hurt with his family and friends for my brother in Christ. May God be with us at this difficult time. Amen
Loved Bro. Dale!

Brenda, you and Dale were great friends at Clear Creek! I know Dale served the Lord well, ran the race that was before him, and has heard the words \”Well Done\”! One of these days we will see him again, of this we are certain. Please do not hesitate to call on us if there is anything we can do to help. ~ Pastor Thad and Beth Gifford Crossroads Community Church London, OH 740-837-1060
So very sorry
Our prayers are with you.
Brenda we were so sad to hear about Dale passing away. Dale, you and Tony were so special to us while you all were serving at Pine Grove Baptist, in Pennington Gap, Va. . We have never forgotten your sweet friendship. Our prayers will be for you and the family during this time. We wish we could come to the service. Love, Rick and Kathy Napier.
Bro. Dale was a wonderful man.
Bro. Dale was such a wonderful, caring man. He never met a stranger. I will be forever grateful to him talking to Mom when she passed out in the hospital. He will be missed by all who knew him. He loved the Lord with all his heart. My heart felt condolences go out to the family now and for the coming days. You are all in my prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss. Dale was one of a kind and loved by so many. When my oldest daughter needed a pastor to marry her my first thought was to ask Dale. He never hesitated and graciously agreed. Dale will always be remembered for his laugh and I loved aggravating him about his Tennessee shirts and hats we all tried at ephraim to convert him to a U.K. Fan with no luck. My prayers are with you Brenda and his family.

Sorry Brenda he will be missed

My prayers go out to you and all your family, you have been so good to me through this nightmare that I have been living and just know that I love you, Bro Dale and all your family. I am here if there is anything at all I can do to help Sending love and hugs, Vickie

Prayers for all of you❤️
Brenda, Leasa and I want to tell you how sorry we were to hear of Dale’s passing, although he is in the best hands of all, His Saviors’. I had looked at the funeral home website yesterday and they didn’t have the services listed yet. I was so busy today I hadn’t checked it again. I just thought it would be Wednesday or Thursday, and when I found out it was today it hurt me so bad. The first time we met you all was on our trip to Israel in 1997. I loved Dale and missed seeing him at the hospital after he retired. Our prayers are with you all, and we will see Dale again someday. He was such a great guy and servant of the Lord.
Prayers for you Brenda and family, Bro. Dale touched our lives and hearts while at Drakes Creek Baptist Church. Our hearts are broken for you but rejoice in knowing he is celebrating in heaven.
We are so sorry for your lose.
Lovingly remembered
Hi Brenda and Family. I was saddened to hear Dale had passed away. I have so many happy memories of long ago when we were attending and worshiping at Good Hope in NewMarket,TN. He and Bill were such good friends as well as you and I. There is surely a grand reunion in Heaven with all our Loved ones and friends meeting again. What a Blessed Hope!! I have no doubt Dale served with only Gods glory in mind. Brenda you area special person. I\’m sorry we have not kept touch ove the years. Loved your father, mother and family so much. May you feel the undergirding of Angels wings as you travel the road ahead. You are in my prayers. Sincerely Mildred Norton
