Dale Cain Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 22, 2012.

Dale Edward Cain was born on September 3, 1957 in Oceanside, California. He entered into rest on December 16, 2012 in Oceanside, California.

Dale is survived by his father, Keith Cain, mother, Peggy Cain in Oceanside, California, relatives, and friend.

Mr. Cain's final resting place will be Eternal Hills Memorial Park.

He will be deeply missed...

Dale,

We little knew that morning, God was to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same,
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you - The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Our love eternally,
Your Family

I wish you were here today, even for just a little while, so I could say Happy Birthday "Son" and see your beautiful smile.
Is there a party up in Heaven to celebrate today? Did angels frost a cake for you or sing to start your day?
I miss those special moments that we shared throughout the years. It is hard to find that on this day my eyes now fill with tears.
Please know that I'm thinking of you as I go throughout each day. This day is very special though, because it your BIRTHDAY!
With loving memories, Mother

Dale, This is our third Christmas without you, but those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear. I try to keep the tradition of decorating our house for Christmas just as you did, but, it will never be the same. No one has the natural talent that you had. Love, Mother

It's been exactly one year ago today since you left us.

A smile can hide the tears, a laugh can hide the pain, but nothing stops the longing to have you back again. Love, Mother

I have great memories of Dale when we were just kids. He occasionally visited his grandparents in Ontario,Ca (My precious pastors). We had so much fun together. I will never forget you or the time we played church.... you preached and I played the organ... What a memory! I know you are with Jesus!

Happy Birthday, Dale. You always looked forward to celebrating your birthday, or anyone else's for that matter. Today marks your first birthday with God in Heaven surrounded by your loved ones and friends. Dad and I couldn't contact you in person to wish you a happy birthday, so we sent a "Happy Birthday Prayergram" for you to Heaven. We always feel your presence and love with us. You always said that God knew your name, and you were right, he does. Until we meet again. Love Dad and Mother

They say that time is a healer, but as time goes on, I seem to find it just as hard to face the fact you've gone. You'll never be forgotten and every day I shed a tear, but it's only because I love you and wish you were still here. Love always, Mother

As a member of the corporate business world it is important to always look sharp. Dale was on my team to make that a reality. His flexible scheduling always worked to accommodate my appointments at the drop of a hat and I enjoyed our conversations on everything from politics to family parties. I cannot express my sadness at his passing but to reach out to his family and tell them how much he meant to me. (LCK)

I was so sad to hear of Dale's passing. Our families attended church together as kids and I was in Honor Choir with Dale. He was always happy and had a kind word to say. Although we lost contact after I moved during my junior year, I often wondered and thought about Dale. I will always remember his wonderful voice. Based on the other comments he had a big influence on a lot of people. My prayers are with his family and friends.

Peggy and family,

Dale became my hair stylist over 13 years ago and soon became my friend, too.I'm so glad I got to see you Dec 14 and you were so happy. I always looked forward to seeing you! You were amazing!

I had the honor of being with your Grandfather and parents when your Grandmother Cain passed away.

Dale, I'm going to miss you so much but know I'll see in Heaven someday.

I'm so sorry I won't be able to attend the memorial service since we are in Mount Vernon, WA until the 28th.

Our prayers and thoughts are with all of Dale's family. He was an amazing Christian man.

With sincere sympathy.

I knew Dale in High School. Dale, Greg, My cousin and I were good friends for only a short time before I moved away. But I will always remember Dale for his compassion, humor and loving ways. We were recently reunited and it was such a wonderful feeling to know he was the same Dale I knew many years ago. My heart goes out to Dale's Family. He spoke highly of you and was so proud of Greg and his Family. God always takes the best. My thoughts and Prayers are with you. God Bless

It truly saddens me to hear of Dale's passing.....I met Dale in orchestra at Lincoln Jr. High and was friends with him throughout our years at OHS. It's sad how lives drift apart and away over the years but I have always and will always remember his great smile, joyful laugh and fun spirit. I have thought of Dale over the years and hoped he was having a great life, one that matched his radiant and magnetic personality. I will miss the opportunity to see him again here....rest well my ole friend. My prayers and thoughts go to your family and close ones.

I worked with Dale at Salon 21 for 7 years. He always could make us laugh with the pranks he would pull on us. We had so many great parties at the Top Gun house. I'll miss his singing and dancing too. I have so many great memories of Dale and am so sorry he left us so early.

Dale was a classmate from kindergarten. He was the cutest kid and was always so sweet; he could never be unkind. I will never forget how he laughed when I impressed him with my false teeth flipping trick. Even in kindergarten it was obvious that he could be friends with everyone including meanies like me. Dale, you will be missed by all who have been blessed to know you.

I was one of Dale's first clients when he started out in Vista. I liked him so much that I followed him around from salon to salon until I moved up to San Francisco. I was hoping to stop by and see him this week while I am visiting and I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. He was a beautiful spirit and he will be missed!
