Our sweet, loving husband, dad, grandpa, brother, and uncle, Dale Bernett Nelson, passed away on Saturday, May 27,2017 with his sweetheart, Marilyn, by his side. She is grateful that she was able to be with him until the end.

Dale was born on August 20, 1952 in Ogden, Utah, to Chester Bernett and Pearl Mae Watkins Nelson. He was number 5 of 11 children and loved being part of a large family.

He served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Germany, prior to meeting the love of his life, Marilyn Bell. Together they raised five wonderful children.

Dale worked at Hill Air Force Base as an electroplater for 32 years and he treasured the friendships he made there.

He loved being up in the mountains, but there was nothing he loved more than his family and friends. He lived for his grandkids. We will miss him dearly.
