Dale Everett Morgan, 74

Dale Everett Morgan, age 74 of Ronan, passed away Nov. 28, 2023. He was born June 30, 1949, in Charlo to Robert and Esther Morgan. He was the oldest of six kids. 

Just before graduation from Ronan in 1967, Dale decided to join the Army and quit school.  While in the Army and home on leave, Mary Lou LaDue introduced Dale to Faye Decker, and they were married in 1971. 

After his discharge, Dale went to work at Plum Creek where he worked until the mill closed its doors in 2009 after which he enjoyed retirement and hanging out at the VFW where he was an active member. He also loved high school sports and could always be found at a Ronan football or basketball game. He loved to shoot the bull and tell dirty jokes to anyone willing to listen.

He was the rock in our family, and we are lost without him.

Dale was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Esther, and his siblings, Tom, Jim, Kathy, Kayleen and Robert.  

Dale leaves behind his wife, Faye, of 53 years; his three children, Shawn, Amy and Jonathan; grandchildren Austin (Shayla), Josh (Micaela), Jaylyn, Kadynce and Kaitlin; great-grandchildren Avianna, Emmery, Jaymie, Beau, Bryisen, Hayden and Lincoln; aunt Ann Koberg and uncle Fred Greiff; his in laws, the Decker clan, which he loved, and too many nieces and nephews to list them all.

Memorial services for Dale were held on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023, at 11 a.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Ronan. Military Honors followed at the church. Messages of condolences can be shared with the family online at www.shriderthompson.com.
