of Ben Hur, AR
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
Dale is preceded in death by his parents, Willie and Ora England; siblings, Willa Dean England, Beale England Drewry, Billie Jean England Epley, Vernon England and Joe England; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
Graveside services for Dale will be 2:00 PM Thursday, February 25th, 2021 at Witts Springs Cemetery with Bro. Bud Garrison and Bro. Jared Horton officiating. Special music will be performed by Bob and Ruth Harmon. Pallbearers will be Lloyd Horton, Koby England, Daken England, Kayden Sherwood, Brayden Sherwood and Payton Deckard.
