It’s hard to put into words the loss we are feeling.

Last week, we lost Dale — a man whose entire world was his family. A loving husband to Jess and the most devoted, proud father to his daughter, Alecsys. She was his everything. Dale didn’t just love being a dad — he lived for it. From concerts to hockey and baseball games, to the quiet, everyday moments that meant the most, he made sure Alecsys always felt loved, supported, and put first. Every memory they made together is a reflection of the kind of father he was — present, selfless, and full of love.

The pain of losing him is unimaginable. There are no words that can truly ease what Jess and Alecsys are going through right now. But what we can do is come together, just as Dale would have done for anyone else, and help support the people he loved most. This fundraiser is in memory of Dale — to honor the life he lived and the love he gave — and to help provide for Alecsys as she faces a future without her dad by her side.

You will always be missed, Dale. Never forgotten.
