Dale Wilson Shackelford

Dale W. Shackelford, 82, passed away on October 13, 2019. He was born March, 25, 1937 to the late Charles and Viola Shackelford. Dale was a hard-working man who diligently worked for 55 years in the telecom industry. He was a dedicated family man, gracious with his time which he gave to coaching his kids’ teams, working in the family garden with his grandkids, and going on car rides with his beloved dogs. He enjoyed fishing, vacations at Dale Hollow Lake, and trips to Florida with his wife. Dale left an indelible mark on the lives of everyone he knew, from his wife who he met in the 7th grade, to his one-liners making everyone laugh, to his willingness to give more than he could to help someone who needed it more.

Dale is survived by his wife of 62 years, Linda; daughters, Jill Bunnell, Pattilou (Brian) Pavlich; brother, Gene Shackelford (Shirley); grandchildren, Britni (Joshua) Atchley, Brandon (Talia) Pavlich, Ben Pavlich; great-grandchildren, Edison Dale, Oliver, and Baylor; sister-in-law, Pat Benedict; and nieces and nephew.

Friends may call at Bacher Funeral Home, 3326 Manchester Rd., Akron on Friday, October 18, 2019 from 4-8 PM, where services will be held on Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 10 AM.
