Dale Brown

Dale Brown passed away at his home surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, February 1, 2015.

Dale was born on August 28, 1940 to Clarence and Julie (Jackson) Brown in Des Moines. He graduated from Lincoln High School in 1958 and was active with the Lincoln alumni helping to coordinate his class reunions. Dale retired as an electrical technician from MidAmerican Energy in 1995 after 24 years of service. He enjoyed attending his two weekly breakfast clubs, one with the MidAmerican retirees and the other with his Lincoln classmates.

Dale loved being outdoors, working in his yard and walking at Gray’s Lake. In his younger years, he enjoyed making birdhouses, birdfeeders and remodeling his home. If he couldn’t be outdoors you would find him in his workshop or on his computer. Dale also loved traveling and his beloved cat Ollie.

Dale is survived by his wife of 53 years, Dolores “Dee”; his children, Sheri (Greg) Blaylock and David Brown; granddaughters, Kristen and Danielle; great-grandchildren, Gracie and Max; and other loving family and friends.

The family will greet friends from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 5, 2015 at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home, 5400 SW 9th Street. A memorial service will be held at noon on Friday, February 6th at the funeral home. A private burial will be held at Sunset Memorial Gardens Cemetery at a later date.
