Dale Richard Lockwood Jr., age 73, of Three Rivers, passed away Wednesday, September 30, 2026 at Optalis Health and Rehab.

He was born December 12, 1952 in Three Rivers, the son of Dale H. and Jean (Kiel) Lockwood Sr., and graduated from Three Rivers High School with the Class of 1971.

Dale worked at Peterson Spring in Three Rivers as a machinist till they closed, and then he worked at Weber in Schoolcraft till early retirement.

Anyone who knew him knew his interests were always about the Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers, he always had something to say about them. He enjoyed fishing when he could do it and also enjoyed golfing when able. He was pretty much always outside doing something, whether it be walking his dog Toby that was always by his side, his buddy, or always planting flowers, and growing his tomatoes.

Dale was overall a great person, he spoke his mind about everything whether you wanted to hear the truth or not.

Remaining to cherish his memory are his daughter Tracy Faile and various family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Family and friends will gather on Thursday, October 8, 2026 at 1:00 at Hohner Funeral Home, 1004 Arnold St., Three Rivers. A graveside service will follow at 2:00 at Moorepark Cemetery.
