Dale Jerome Piercy
June 9, 1950 - October 9, 2015

Dale Jerome Piercy was born on June 9, 1950, in Sioux Rapids, Iowa, to Lloyd and Cleta (Haner) Piercy. He spent his early years in Spencer taking advantage of all the activities offered to the “sports minded” young man. In junior high, however, he moved with his family to Cornell and later to Sioux Rapids where he graduated in 1968. He, then, attended Iowa Lakes Community College (Emmetsburg) where he participated in baseball and basketball and graduated with an associate degree in business.

In 1969, Dale married his high school sweetheart, Karen Davidson. They would spend the next forty-six years together becoming the parents of two children, Stephanie and Darren. Dale loved attending all of their activities, supporting them in any way whether coaching, umpiring, or whatever they needed. In 2000, Rania, the first of his four grandchildren was born followed shortly afterward by Allison, Jada, and Drew. They were the “apples of his eye,” and he and Karen spent many nights at the ballparks or gyms watching them hone their skills. Dale loved sports of all kinds and was an avid bowler, golfer, racing fan, and Iowa Hawkeye fan as everyone could tell from his “Hawkeye Gold” pickup.

Dale worked for Frito Lay, Inc., for twenty years as a route salesman and was currently working for National Box and Display in Spencer.

Dale passed away on Friday, October 9, 2015, at the Spencer Hospital at the age of 65. He was preceded in death by his parents; his father- and mother- in-law, Claire and Eleanor Davidson, and his sister-in-law, Ellen Lange.

Those keeping his memory alive include his wife, Karen; his daughter, Stephanie and her daughter, Rania, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Darren and Christy and their children, Allison, Jada, and Drew, of Spencer; his brother, Harold, and his wife Georgia, of Spencer; and his brothers-in-law, James and Sandra Davidson, of Burlington, Iowa, and Gordon and Deb Davidson, of Waterloo, Iowa; as well as his nieces, nephews, and many friends.

Dale always believed in doing the right thing and doing more for others, so the family has chosen to give life and health to others through the Iowa Donor Network.

God bless the memory of Dale Jerome Piercy.

No formal services will be held at the present time as burial will be at a later date. The Sliefert Funeral Home in Sioux Rapids is in charge of the arrangements.
