It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of Dale Broening on Saturday April 23rd, 2016 at the age of 68 after a 3 month courageous battle with brain cancer. Dale was predeceased by his father Walter Broening and an infant sister. Left to mourn include his devoted wife of 40 years Marlene (Dyck), his children James (Christy), Craig (Andrea), Kevin (Kayce), and Janet, and his grandsons Kai, Max, Logan and Jake. Dale will be sadly missed by his mother Edythe Hartwick, siblings Barb Broening, Wendy Lucas (Glen), Erica Wiemken (Dennis) Shelley Woodcox (Wayne) and Bob Broening. Dale was born in Kamloops, BC to Walter and Edythe Broening in 1948. He graduated from UBC in 1974 with a degree in mechanical engineering. Dale married in 1976 and started his family in Port Alberni, BC. For over the last 30 years Dale considered Prince George as home. Dale was a leader in all facets in his life. Whether in his family, at church, or at work, he demonstrated a quiet leadership quality that people respected and admired. Dale's faith in Jesus Christ was present in all aspects of his life. He showed this faith through his willingness to give his time to anyone in need and living a life of humility and integrity. Dale will be remembered for his boundless patience, gentle spirit and quick wit. Dale would never pass up an opportunity to add a classic one-liner joke with family and friends. Even during the last few days of his life his sense of humour remained intact. In his final days, Dale had peace and went with grace.
