Dale D Erickson

Dale D Erickson, age 68, our husband, brother, uncle and friend passed away on May 4, 2025. Dale was born on May 13, 1956 in Mott, North Dakota. He graduated with BS (University of Illinois) and MS (Illinois Institute of Technology) in metallurgical engineering. He worked for the same oil company for his entire career, residing most of his adult life in Huntington Beach, CA. Dale met his wife, Paige Augustine in high school in Metamora, IL. They reconnected in 2012 after Dale initiated contact. They have been inseparable since. They often said they should have connected as kids because they were true life partners. Paige and Dale have lived happily in Prescott Valley since 2013 Dale was a life long learner and loved to talk/teach about what he learned. Paige called him “Her Professor.” He loved to ask questions and engage in healthy debate with family about what he studied. He had a passion for astronomy and anything space related. Dale taught many family and friends about the stars and was frequently asked to assist younger generations to understand what is “up in the sky.” Dale had a strong passion for history and what its wisdom teaches us for today. He was the family historian and shared all on his blog. These details are invaluable and will be cherished now and generations to come. Dale loved to read, swim and walked 3 to 4 miles a day in his community of Prescott Valley, AZ. He referred to himself as the “neighborhood greeter”. Dale is survived by his wife Paige Augustine of Prescott Valley, AZ, his sister Deborah Nunes, niece’s Alexandra Nunes, Jaclyn Owens, nephew Brandon Owens of West Chester, PA, brother Derek Erickson and wife Shari Erickson of The Villages, FL. Dale was preceded in death by his parents Duane and Luella Erickson of Bismarck, North Dakota. The Service for Dale will be a private family gathering. In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution in Dale’s memory to your local church or favorite charity.
