November 29th, 2021 from complication brought on by covid 19.
Just like he dealt with all experiences in life, Dale battled serious medical issues in recent years with
strength and grace, and stayed strong until the end. He wanted to spend as much time with his loved
ones as possible. On his final day, he was surrounded by his wife and children, who he adored him
more than anything else in the world.
His devotion to his family and firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him
his peace.
He was born July 17th, 1941, to Albert and Anna Herrington in Kansas City.
After graduating high school in 1959, Dale enlisted in the United States Army and proudly
served his country for 4 years.
In February 1969 he married the love of his life, Wylene and they had 2 children, Kimberly and Jason.
Dale was a Soil Technician at Layne Western in Kansas City for 29 years till moving to Las Vegas
to run the Soil Testing Lab for the Nevada Test Site. Once retired, it was back to Kansas City
for him and his family.
Dale’s Christian faith was an essential part of his life. He was active member at Gregory Boulevard
Church of Christ. He enjoyed woodworking, traveling in his motor home, and most
recently fixing up “the farm”. Anyone who knew him was touched by his kindness, humor, and mild
temperament. He was truly a peacemaker and was always a source of positivity. He touched the lives
of many throughout his lifetime. .
