John Dale McPherson
December 20th, 1946 – August 19th, 2024
John “Dale” McPherson, born on December 20th, 1946, passed away August 19th, 2024, at the age of 77.
Dale loved classic cars; rebuilding and restoring cars was one of his passions. He worked hard to provide for his family, helped others, met with friends often, was both funny and silly, at the ready to make you laugh, yet not afraid to be there and comfort you if you were crying. He was emotional, sensitive, light-hearted, strong, brave and fiercely loyal. Though cancer eventually took his life, he fought to be strong in mind and spirit until the end. When saying his final goodbyes, he was sure to say with the force required to be heard, “I love you all!”
Dale was predeceased by his parents, Karl and Vera McPherson; and his brothers-in-law, Clint Emery, Joe Forrest, and Frank Kelly.
He leaves to cherish his faithful wife, Elizabeth; sisters Mildred Emery, Carol Forrest, and Sharon Kelly; his children, Cari McPherson, Colette (Javier) Martinez, Steve, Lindsay (Jeff) MacDougall, Sarah Asprey, Amber (Colton) Kambietz, Stephanie (Cody) Bohnet, Samantha (Mike) McPherson, Joe, Melissa (Alex) Biemans, Mary (Esteban) Valle, Tylor, Anthony (Piper), Nicole; as well as his 26 grandchildren.
