A funeral service will be held for Ronald Dale Stone, 69, of Lindale, Texas at Lakeside Baptist Church in Canton, Texas at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, April 21, 2023. Dr. Mark Moore officiating. Graveside service to follow at Four Mile Cemetery, 460 VZ, Co Rd 2607, Mabank, TX 75147.

Dale went home to the Lord on April 15, 2023 in Tyler, Texas. He was born on July 6, 1953 in Billings, Montana to Alden “Stoney” Stone and Cora Jeannette Raper Stone. Dale grew up in Billings. It was there he met the love of his life, Marsha Loseke. The couple married in 1974. In 1986 the couple moved to the Canton and Lindale area where they raised their family. He was Baptist by faith and a member at Lakeside Baptist Church.

Dale was a hardworking man who loved his family. He enjoyed golfing and being outdoors, but his favorite pastime was coaching his sons and school age boys in baseball, basketball and running. He loved helping young men achieve and reach their goals. He was a mentor and friend. Dale loved the Lord, his family and helping others.

Dale is preceded in death by his parents, Stoney and Cora Stone; brother, Howard “Doug” Stone.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Marsha Stone; sons and daughters in-law, Bryan and Billie Stone, Jordan and Shelly Stone; grandchildren, Audrey Stone, Carson Stone, Landon Stone, Hudson Stone; sisters, Levana Lev and Sharon Propp.

Dale wore many hats throughout his life, many at the same time. From his time as a coal miner to coaching youth sports or his interactions with employees as a business owner. He always found opportunities to inspire and help everyone in his life. His integrity and endearing sense of humor earned the trust and respect of all who knew him. His legacy lives on by the mark he left on so many. By his faith we know he is in heaven and the pain we feel is matched by the joy we have in knowing we will be with him again.

A visitation for Dale will be held Thursday, April 20, 2023 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Eubank Funeral Home, Canton, Texas.
