Dale W. Malke, 86, of Peshtigo, passed away peacefully at home on September 18, 2026, with his family at his side.
Born May 16, 1940, in Marinette, Wisconsin, he was born to Elsie and Rudolf Malke.
Dale was known for his lifelong love of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and racing, as well as his strong work ethic, wisdom, and determination. A true jack of all trades, he worked in many occupations and could often be counted on to fix or figure out whatever was needed.
Dale shared 65 years and 352 days of marriage with his wife, Betty. He was a loving father to Debbie (Joe) Corey, Henry Malke, and Dave (Crystal) Malke; and a proud "Gramps" to Anthony Corey, Holly Corey, Amy Beattie, Chad Malke, Travis Malke, and Tanner Malke. He was also a cherished great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend to all who knew him.
He will be deeply missed by his family and friends. A potluck "Reunion of Family and Friends in honor of the late Dale W. Malke" will be held on November 14, 2026 at 2:00 pm at Grover Township Hall, 5161 Town hall Road, Peshtigo, WI.
