Mr. Roger Dale Venable, 67, passed away on Sunday, November 20, 2022, out in the field doing what he loved. Graveside services were held on Sunday, November 27, 2022 at Inglish Cemetery with a reception following at Stevenson Park Building at 203 City Park Road in Stevenson.
Dale spent years of his life employed at Mud Creek Marina where he made lifelong friends and memories. A Jackson County deer hunting legend, he loved hunting almost as much as he loved his family. He spent much of his life in the woods and knew Mud Creek and the surrounding areas better than anyone. Many know him for still holding the Jackson County record for largest typical whitetail deer since 1981.
He is survived by his mother, Erma; brother, Robby; sons, James and Bobby; grandchildren, Drake, Ashton, Paisley. He was preceded in death by his father, Roy; sisters, Rosa, Carol; brother, Randy.
