February 17, 1955 – April 19, 2026
t is with great sadness we announce the Homegoing of Dale Gordon Somers on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at The Moncton Hospital, surrounded by family & friends. Born in Chatham, NB he was the son of the late Edward and Jean (Blakely) Somers.
Dale had an unshakeable Faith and determination even during his hardest battles. He remained positive and joyous during his last 2 years after his spinal injury and always said that he believed God would use him and his story for the Glory of God.
Dale was an accountant by trade, but dabbled in many different avenues. He worked in a variety of positions both in private businesses & faith based settings. He finished his career as the Director of Finance & Operations at Hillside Baptist Church.
Dale will be missed by his wife Wendy (Steeves) Somers; his daughter Lauren Wilson (Thomas); grandchildren Alice, Taylor and Charlotte whom were the light of his life; sisters Betty Somers and Susan Walsh (Bob); his brothers Charlie (Sue) and John; nieces and nephews, Tammy (Marc) Clement, Jeff (Susan) Steeves, Karla (Tony) Locke, George Steeves, Janique Steeves, Jeff (Andrea) Somers and Jillian Somers.
He was also predeceased by his in-laws, Harold & Frances Steeves, brother-in-law Harold Steeves Jr., brother-in-law & sister-in-law Harry & Beth Steeves.
