Dale Lee Hulse

Dale Lee Hulse, II, was born on Sunday, April 29, 1979, in Laramie, Wyoming, and passed away on Saturday, November 30, 2024, in Dandridge, Tennessee. He leaves a legacy of kindness and selflessness, attributes that defined his life and career. A dedicated professional, Dale thrived as a self-employed handyman and finish carpenter, serving his community with exceptional skill and a friendly demeanor. 

Dale was widely regarded as a giving individual, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Described by friends and family as someone who loved others more than himself, he embodied the spirit of generosity and compassion throughout his life. He had an innate ability to enjoy life, often seeking opportunities to have a good time and create lasting memories with those around him.

His hobbies reflected his appreciation for the great outdoors; Dale loved fishing, hunting, and off-roading. He found joy in working on projects and was an avid firearms enthusiast. Above all, he cherished spending quality time with his family, cultivating a nurturing environment filled with love and laughter.

Dale is survived by his mother, Rhonda Grover Hulse, and his five children: Devon Hulse, Megan Hulse and her partner Michael Dobkowski, Morgan Hulse, Colton Hulse, and Emma Hulse, all of Candler, North Carolina. He also leaves behind a granddaughter, Grace, and another grandchild on the way; his sisters, Mimi Reynolds and Clenna Hulse; and many dear friends who were touched by his life.

He is preceded in death by his father, Dale Lee Hulse I, and his beloved companion dog, Ruger.
