Dale Petree loved his work and the organizations he was involved with, but his biggest joy was his family. He was always there cheering them on in whatever they were participating in. Dale loved going to as many of their events as he could manage. He enjoyed watching his children become parents and loved watching his grandchildren grow, relishing in how they developed and what they would someday do with their lives. Dale was so proud of his children and the adults they turned out to be and proud of his grandchildren and the young adults they were becoming.

Dale was preceded in death by his father; mother; sister, Viola Brewer and her husband, Buddy; in laws, Charles and Billie Weaver; and brother in law, Charles Weaver.

Survivors include his wife, Sandra; son, Robert Petree; daughter, Staci Petree Hughes (Rick); grandchildren, Tyler, Hanna, and Sara Petree and John Hughes; brother, David Petree (Mary); sister, Betty Baughman (Wayne); and numerous nieces and nephews.

The void he left will be hard to fill. He will be dearly missed by family, friends, and coworkers.
