Obituary
Dale Batchelor

Sanford, North Carolina

Age 66.
Died 11/4/2025.

Dale Batchelor, Daddy, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2025. Dale leaves behind his two loving daughters, Amanda Barnes and Kristen Breedlove, who were the pride and joy of his life. He also leaves his faithful dog, Bella; Grandchildren (Justin, Alexis, Cameron, Skylar, & Hunter), his sister, Sandra McNeill, and her husband, David; nieces Lisa (and her daughters Faith and Amber, and Granchild Adalynn) and Cheryl (and her daughters Morgan and Lauren); his brother, Ricky Batchelor; Son-in-Laws (Mike and Brad), and his loving girlfriend, Debbie. He was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Hazel Batchelor, his beloved daughter, Heather Hoffecker, and his nephew David Britt. Dale was a hard-working man who loved his family deeply and never missed an opportunity to brag about his daughters. Though he faced many dark days, his stubborn strength and resilience helped him rise again and again. He found peace and joy in the simplest things—riding his lawn mower or golf cart around the farm with Bella by his side, surrounded by the land he loved so dearly. The farm was his heart, and it will forever hold the memories and moments his family shared with him there. Now, we take comfort in knowing that Dale is in heaven, building canes, birdhouses, and barns, riding tractors, and mowing the lawns of paradise with his family and our Heavenly Father—where darkness and pain are no more. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

Apples to Apples

The same laws that apply to the big corporate funeral homes also apply to the modest independently owned firms like ours. All crematories in North Carolina, regardless of who owns them, are inspected annually by the state and must adhere to the same rules and laws.
