We regretfully announce the passing of Dickie Dale Sanders, on May 16, 2023.  

Dick had a difficult battle with Dementia and is now peacefully at home in heaven. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Ray (Tooter) and Billy Earl and also by his loving sisters Linda Hall and Betty Stone. 

His youngest brother Rickey Sanders currently resides in Mansfield, Texas.  

Dick’s son Brady Dale and his daughters Linda K. Larson and Kristen Grace all mourn his loss and are thankful he is now at peace. 

He also leaves behind three grandchildren and five great grandchildren. 

Dick’s quick wit, charisma and the ever-present way he enjoyed making others laugh will forever be remembered. 

He requested that no services take place and to instead gather with loved ones for a smile and a laugh.
