Teri Anchondo says
When someone you love and admire is taken from our lives so suddenly it is hard to process. My heart is heavy with grief and trying to find the right words to comfort our loved ones is not easy. Dale was not only a friend but one of the best “second dad” to my son Michael. I will always be eternally grateful to him for loving him like one of his own. We will miss him dearly, but through all of his family and friends his spirit will live on and be remembered everyday.
RIP Dale

Some people dream about meeting their role models, idols, and biggest fans…. I was lucky enough to be able to call mine Dad and be raised by him. I love you with all my heart Dad. You maybe gone but will never be forgotten. I love you……

Stephanie Anchondo says
This is absolutely the hardest thing I have ever had to go through in my life. This is not something that I or anyone ever thinks will happen to them. It was completely unexpected and I am struggling to even find the right words myself… he was the most humble, giving, caring, loving and smartest person I have ever met. He was not only my dad, but he was the one person in my life that I have always looked up to ,(besides you mom ;)) and I will continue to look up to you for everything you have taught me and I will forever be grateful that you were my dad. I don’t think I will ever fully understand why you had to go so soon. But I do know that heaven gained one heck of an angel and maybe they were in need of a great man like you!! I will always miss you and think about you every day! Kyla and Jayla talk about you every day how much they miss you and want you back. They really are heartbroken but we will get through this. Until we meet up again in heaven, dad, I just want to say I love you forever and thank you for just being you!! Love your daughter💗

LeeAnne, Nicky, Stephanie and families: Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I am shocked and saddened at the loss of my brother, Dale. I wish that I had been in touch with him more throughout the years. Knowing that he lived a good life, and had family and friends that loved him, gives me comfort. He will be in our memories and hearts forever. We now have another forever angel to look over us. God bless Dale and his family. RIP
