Dale Richard Parker
February 21, 1955 – June 10, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dale Richard Parker on June 10, 2025, in Brantford, Ontario, at the age of 70.
Born on February 21, 1955, in Simcoe, Ontario, Dale was a devoted husband, loving father, proud Papa, and a true jack of all trades. He shared 40 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Colleen. Together, they raised two children, Rachele and Nathan. Dale was also a very proud father-in-law to Corey and took immense joy in being “Papa” to his grandson, Nash. He was also eagerly anticipating the arrival of his second grandson, whose presence brought him joy and excitement in his final days.
Dale was known for his creativity, his passion for fishing, and his love of NASCAR races. Whether he was building something with his hands or casting a line into the water, Dale approached life with curiosity, skill, and a quiet sense of humor that will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A celebration of Dale’s life will be held at the Polish hall (154 Pearl street, Brantford) on Saturday, June 21st from 12-4pm. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you take a moment to enjoy a quiet morning by the water or watch a race in his honor—just as Dale would have liked.
We have been devastated by the tragic loss of a son, brother, brother-in-law’ and uncle. Dale was the son of Erna Parker of Boston, Ontario and brother to Charlie, Rick , Wayne and Scott. His father Jim and brother David passed prior to Dale.
