Dale Robert Rud Sr.

Dale Robert Rud Sr. (69) of Byron, Minnesota died on September 26, 2022, peacefully surrounded by his loving family after a very short but courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Dale was born March 22, 1953, to Aden and Leola Rud. He grew up in Byron, Minnesota and graduated from Byron High School in 1971. He married the love of his life, Diane, on March 23, 1984.

Dale held several jobs throughout his life including St. Mary’s Hospital, Marigold Dairy, Rochester Fertilizer Plant, Rochester Sand and Gravel, Schmidt Printing and most recently DeCook Excavating. Dale was known for his sense of humor. He had a joke for everyone and everything even in his last days.

The top loves of his life included his beloved wife, Diane (and her cooking) his side kick Brutis who he took everywhere, and his 1995 red Chevy pickup truck which he kept spotless inside and out. He loved gambling and finding new places to eat.

Dale is survived by his loving wife, Diane; and dog Brutis; children, Bobbie (Cory) Boehm, Dale Rud Jr. (Michele), Mike Chilson (Patti), Mark Chilson (Sarah) and Lisa Chilson; siblings, Donnie, Sue, Tom, Arlen (Charlie), twin brother David, Gary and Greg; 13 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dale was preceded in death by his parents.
