He was born September 12, 1960 in McPherson, the son and youngest child of Irby and Lucile (Hedin) Wedel. He grew up in rural Canton and graduated from Canton-Galva High School.
Dale was an avid fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals and enjoyed attending games whenever possible. He was a huge sports enthusiast; playing softball and golf were two of his favorite things to do. He was always up for a good card game, as well. Camping with family and friends was truly pleasurable.
Dale was an all-around good guy. His happy nature and fun personality were evident by the multitude of friends he made during his lifetime. He excelled at his occupation as a polisher, a job he was truly devoted to. Most of all, Dale dearly loved his family. He will be missed greatly by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
