Dale was a 1976 graduate of Chapmanville High School. After working as a coal miner for 5 years, Dale decided he needed a change. He began attending Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College before enrolling in the Mid-America College of Funeral Services in Jefferson, IN where he earned his degree in Mortuary Science. He began his mortuary career at Slater-Gilliam Funeral Home at Switzer where he worked for several years before purchasing the business, establishing Collins Funeral Home. He served as owner, operator, and funeral director until his passing. His daughter, Olivia, will be following in her father’s footsteps by carrying on his legacy.
Dale was a devoted Christian and a member of Monahill Memorial Freewill Baptist Church. He was beloved by many in his community, church, and in his camp community at East Lynn Lake. Though Dale was often seen in his nice suits and ties, as the funeral industry is a formal one, he was most comfortable in his bibbed overalls, tee shirt, and a ball cap. He always had a smile on his face and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was a wonderful son, husband, father, brother, and so much more to so many. They broke the mold when they made Dale Collins, for he was one of a kind.
