Dale A. Wood
Dale Alan Wood, 56, of Hot Springs, journeyed to Heaven June 26, 2017.

He spent most of his adult life proudly serving in the U.S. Army, retiring as a First Sergeant to begin his next endeavor as a carpenter and construction manager.
Dale’s most important adventure, however, was his 12-year marriage to his wife, Tonja Wood. Together they shared bike rides, boat time, laughter, love and family. Dale is also survived by his parents, M.D. and Peppy Wood; children Candice Wood and Briana (Deano) Boldin; grandchildren Hannah Corder and Michael Boldin; siblings Ken (Dawn) Wood, Donnie Wood and Aida (Randy) Reeves; and numerous nephews and nieces who all adored him.
