Obituary of John Dale Pearn

It is with great sadness that the family of Dale Pearn announces his peaceful, but unexpected passing at his home in Lethbridge on February 8, 2018 at the age of 74. Dale is survived by his loving wife Sandra; his sister Peggy; his sons Rick and Kelly (and grandson Charlie); along with his mother in law Beth; his sisters in law Karol and Linda and their families. Dale was predeceased by his parents Jack and Grace Pearn. Dale was born in Stettler on July 30, 1943 to Jack and Grace Pearn. He went to school in Stettler and after completing grade 12, he attended SAIT, where he graduated from their Merchandising Program. After marrying his sweetheart Sandra in 1967, he began work as a sales representative; initially with GWG and later with Levi’s. Ultimately, his career path took him into real estate, which he loved and finally retired from in 2015. Dale was very active in the hockey and baseball community in Sherwood Park, coaching not only his sons, but countless others as he continued on with Baseball Alberta for years. An avid golfer ever since he was a boy, Dale and Sandra spent much of their free time on the links with friends and family. Indeed, it was his friends and family that he cherished most; he never failed to keep in touch with those he cared about. A funeral service will be held at Stettler Funeral Home, Stettler, Alberta on Friday, February 16th at 1:00 pm with reception to follow. Should friends and family wish to make a donation in Dale’s memory, please do so in support of the Alberta Diabetes Foundation or the Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation.
