Dale Gene Freerks

August 1, 1957 - August 2, 2021

This world lost an amazing man. On August 2, 2021, Dale Gene Freerks died after a battle with COVID-19.

On August 1, 1957, Dale was born to Trudy Johnson and Jerry Freerks in Vancover, Washington. Dale enjoyed a childhood filled with siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and Grandparents in the Kelso, Longview area.  At a young age the family moved to Snohomish where he played baseball and graduated from Snohomish High School in 1975.

In 1977 he met Lisa and they began their life together on December 29, 1979. Together they were a team in life, business and loving their boys with all of their hearts. Dale owned and ran Impressions Dental Lab for 35 years, closing the doors in June of 2021 after touching many lives over the years with his artistic and caring way for each patient.

Dale had a way of making sure you were the most important person in the room. His generosity of heart and Love of the Lord was inspiring.

We  will miss him terribly, “until we meet again” Dale leaves behind his wife of 43 years, Lisa, his sons and their wives, Matthew (Melissa), Christopher (Kayla), and Jeffrey (Lauren). Grandchildren, Garrison, Adelaide, Liam, Noah and Elias. Dale also leaves his parents Trudy (Floyd) Johnson, Jerry ( Sandy) Freerks, siblings Jerry Allen (Sue) Freerks, Vickie (Mark) Laures, and Teresa (Patrick) Haugstad. Many nieces and nephews, friends, and cousins, aunties’ and uncles.

From our family, we wish to thank you for the love you shared with us over the years.  We continue Dale’s wishes and begin a new chapter in our lives, painfully without him but knowing he will always live in our hearts.
