Dale Rierson was born in Los Angeles, CA. Dale served his country and was a veteran of the conflict in Vietnam. He lived in Southern California until October, 1997, when he moved to the Seattle area.

Once a meat cutter, Dale changed careers upon relocating to Seattle, and became a special inspector for Krazann & Associates, where he put his firm's authority on pre-inspections of concrete structure construction projects. Dale loved his job, mainly because of the good benefits the company offered. Dale also enjoyed working with other people.

Dale's favorite pastime was singing karaoke at the Crescent Lounge on Seattle's Capitol Hill. There, as his stage alter-ego 'The Reverend Daniel Whitebear,' Dale would belt out songs in his baritone voice for all to enjoy.

Dale is survived by one sister, Candy Thompson, of Huntington Beach, CA, several cousins throughout the country, and by his one true love, Gabriel Tom, with whom he lived for the last eight years. Dale will be truly missed, for he was a dear man.

Information regarding a memorial for Dale will be posted for local friends. The memorial will take place in July. A tribal memorial has been arranged for November 22, 2014 at the Tulalip Community Center.

Until we meet again, travel well, my friend.
