Dayton John James Hale

Dayton Hale, a beloved electrician who had a deep passion for his work, passed away on July 21, 2023, at his home in Drayton Valley. He was born on July 5, 1994, and was taken from us far too soon.

Dayton's career as an electrician was not just a job to him; it was his true calling. He approached every project with dedication and enthusiasm, always striving for excellence. Dayton's expertise and attention to detail made him highly sought after in his field, earning him the respect and admiration of his colleagues and customers alike.

Outside of work, Dayton had a love for arm wrestling and weight lifting. He found solace and joy in competition and working out. Dayton enjoyed building the mental strength and strategies required to compete in both of these sports.

Dayton's passing leaves a void in the hearts of his loved ones. He is survived by his devoted wife Stephanie Hale and their two children, Toki and Boe Hale. His parents Mike and Evelyn Chapman and Karl and Anita Wiggins will forever hold him dear in their hearts, along with his brother Holden Chapman.

Dayton was predeceased by and shared a special bond with, his Uncle Kevin Miller, Nana Shirley Needham, and Grandma Josie Feys. Their memories together will be treasured forever.
