Dale William Tkac passed away on December 22, 2022, in Goodyear, AZ, with his family by his side. Dale was born in Pittsburgh, PA, in 1959, and his hometown remained a source of pride over the years. He was a fun kid, the middle child in a family of 5, who spent a lot of time with his siblings and cousins, enjoying sleepovers, swimming, and all the other activities kids got up to in the 60s. One of the pivotal moments of Dale’s life was when he made the cross-country relocation from Pittsburgh to San Diego, CA. Dale met Patti on January 2, 1982; the rest was history. The pair married in June 1985. Their first child, Hollie, came in September 1988 and was the apple of Dale’s eye. In November 1997, they were blessed to have a 2nd child, Ryan. Dale was so happy to have a son and little buddy to bring to sporting events. The two went to Boston, Oakland, San Jose, Dallas, and more for sports, plus attended countless Padres games, Aztecs games, and golf matches. One thing Dale loved to do was provide for his family and make sure everyone had what they needed. He also loved creating fun experiences. Together, they went on countless trips to San Francisco, Santa Monica, Pittsburgh, and more. The family adopted their first dog, Alexa, in 2016, and Dale loved the dog very much. In 2019, the family relocated to Goodyear, AZ, into the cute little home they live in today. Dale was a kind, loving man who valued providing for his family, and he is deeply missed. He is survived by his wife, Patti, and his children, Hollie and Ryan.
