📍 The Day Dale Disappeared

On the afternoon of September 7, 2025, Dale reportedly suffered a seizure at his home in Marshall, Michigan, in front of his six-year-old daughter.

Following the seizure, he reportedly left his residence while disoriented.

He was last seen around 3:00 p.m. near 15½ Mile Road and J Drive South in Fredonia Township, Michigan.

According to his family, this behavior was extremely unusual.

His cousin, Jodie Barroso, shared how much Dale loves his daughter and emphasized that he would never simply leave her behind.

His disappearance immediately raised concerns about his safety, particularly given his medical condition and the circumstances surrounding his last known movements.

👕 At the time of his disappearance, Dale was reportedly wearing:

Blue jeans
An orange or yellow T-shirt, possibly with a tree service logo on the back
No shoes – he was reportedly barefoot.

Please pay particular attention to the possibility that Dale was walking without footwear.

🚁 Extensive Searches, But No Sign of Dale

The search for Dale brought together law enforcement agencies, professional search teams, and community volunteers.

Search efforts included:

Michigan State Police helicopter searches.
Drone operations.
K9 search teams.
Blue Water K9 Rescue.
Marine Patrol.
Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Oakland County Search and Rescue.
Community volunteers searching fields, wetlands, wooded areas, and surrounding properties.

Searches also extended toward the Lyon Lake area.

Despite these tremendous efforts, Dale has not been located.

Authorities have reported no confirmed evidence of foul play.

💔 A Family That Just Wants Him Home

One of the most heartbreaking details of this case is Dale’s six-year-old daughter.

His family has spoken publicly about how much she means to him and how unusual it would be for him to leave her voluntarily.

His relatives have expressed gratitude to the many volunteers who gave up their time to search for him.

One volunteer shared a simple but powerful sentiment: they would want others to do the same if someone they loved went missing.

And that is exactly what this community did.

People came together, searched difficult terrain, and refused to give up hope.

But Dale’s family still needs answers.
