Dale Myers, 83, of Atlantic, Iowa, passed away Monday, August 6, 2018, at Heritage House in Atlantic, Iowa.

Dale Leroy Myers, son of Leo and Imo (Clemmensen) Myers was born NW of Audubon in Douglas Township, August 17, 1934. He lived his whole life in Audubon County before moving to Atlantic in 1999.

Dale graduated from Atlantic High School in 1952. He attended Iowa State College for Animal Husbandry. He was drafted into the Army in 1954, and spent sixteen months in Korea with the Korean Military Advisory Group in classified security. He was honorably discharged in May of 1956.

On June 17, 1956, he was united in marriage to Sheryl Trumbo at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Atlantic. To this union two children were born, Sherry and Brent. He was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church where he was baptized and confirmed.

He farmed north of Atlantic, until moving to town in 1999. His favorite part of farming was feeding cattle and working with his cows and calves. Dale was a real estate agent for Century 21 Dement Realty for twelve years after retiring from farming.

Dale was a member of the Nishna Hills Golf Course and served a term on the board as Vice-President. He also held memberships at the Elk’s Club, American Legion, and served as Oakfield Township Trustee for 25 years. Dale was a volunteer for hospital auxiliary, former board member of Church Council at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and past member of Lion’s Club, Cass County Cattlemen, and Jaycees.
