Dale (Ike) Argyle Eldredge

Born on The 4th Of July 1934. He left this world on August 10th 2024. His parents were William Raymond Eldredge and Helen Mae Argyle Eldredge. 

Dale learned the value of hard work at a very young age because he lived on a dairy farm. He attended Cyprus high school and had to walk uphill to school and uphill back home in the rain and snow everyday. He was a member of the Salt Lake County Mounted Sherriff's Possie and Participated in several events. In the pageantry of The Horse he portrayed the American Indian, he was a true gladiator as he raced and won several races he also won many sportsmanship awards which is a true testament of his true spirit and his kind giving heart.

Dale worked for the Salt Lake County Public Works Administration and helped navigate the floods in the late 1980's. His love of gardening brought many fruits and vegetables to his friends and family members, and that brought him a lot of joy. And then lets talk zucchini bread, making zucchini bread made him so happy. He was so social and loved the interaction with his friends and family. He would make zucchini bread just so he could deliver it and talk to his friends. 

He was married to love of his life Nita Lee Ackerman until 6 years ago when she passed, they got married in 1954. He also had a son Kenneth Dale who passed away at 8 years old. I'm sure the three of them are so happy to be together again. 

He is survived by his daughter Trace and his son Dale. He also has several grandchildren that he loved, especially Jenesii she was kind of perfect in his eyes. He had a special relationship with his sister Lois. When he met someone he would make friends so easily. He never forgot someone's name.
