August 15, 1941 - February 22, 2021

Gene Dale England, age 79 of Ben Hur, Arkansas passed from this life on Monday, February 22nd, 2021 as he was going to do what he loved, working cows at the sale barn in Damascus when he met his Saviour in a one car accident south of Leslie on Hwy 65 at the Searcy County line. He was born in Witts Springs, Arkansas on August 15th, 1941 (if you ask him or his mother, Ora but August 15th, 1940 according to his birth certificate) to Willie England and Ora Drewry England.

Dale was a man with many hats, a jack of all trades. He was a cowboy, sale barn worker, cattle hauler, a sheetrocker, an avid coon hunter and a police officer. He loved to bush hog, shoe horses and kept up with all his kids by phone. Dale accepted the Lord as his Saviour in 1998 at Falling Water Church. Presently he attended Moore Community Church. He played a big part in getting the church started. It began as the Moore Community School House. Dale helped purchase the materials for a new roof and hauled it to the church. Bro. Bud Garrison is their Pastor and good friend.

Survivors include his wife, Jannifer Collins England of the home; her three children, Lenora Adams (Brian), Jared Henson (Megan) and Martha Henson; his six children, Adalea Horton (Donnie), Kaye Horton (Tony), Ken England (Misty), Paula Deckard (Jeff), Cindy Sherwood (Dusty) and Bill England (Debbie); twenty three grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; siblings, WM England (Melita) and Coy England (Charlotte) and many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends
