Dale Thailing 1961-2025

Dale was born May 30, 1961, in Parma, the son of Donald and Doris Mae Slovachik Thailing.

He was a devoted carpenter, proudly dedicating 32 years of his life to Starr Construction Company, where he earned the respect and admiration of colleagues and clients, and reached the highest level of craftsmanship.

Dale enjoyed his time camping, hiking, skiing, scuba diving and exploring the world with his son, Dustin. He enjoyed doing stunts at stunt shows, but most of all his favorite pastime was being with his grandchildren.

Dale leaves to cherish his memory, his children, Colleen Hake of Satsuma, Florida, Heather Weston of Morganton, North Carolina, Michael Thailing of Phoenix, Arizona, Dustin Hake-Thailing of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Searra Thailing of Girard; sister, Denise Arsenault of Lakewood, Colorado; brothers, Daryl Thailing of Ormond Beach, Florida, and David Thailing of The Villages, Florida; and grandchildren, Shyanna, Stephan, Adyson, Solace and Zeyon.

Dale was preceded in death by his parents.

In remembering Dale, we honor not only his professional accomplishments but also the character he displayed throughout his life. He will be profoundly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Memorial services have been held.

A celebration of Dale’s life will be held at a later date.
