Dale Edward Pena

GLASGOW – Dale Edward Pena, 74, passed away Friday, October 2, 2026, at his home, surrounded by his family. He was the son of the late Casey Pena and Jean Arquette Pena.

He is survived by his wife, Lisa Gallagher-Pena; five children, Dahlia Pena-Thomas (Robert), Salem, CT, Kyle Pena of Warwick, RI, Shane Pena, Angelina Pena, and Daniel Pena of Utah; several grandchildren, especially James Thomas; two great-grandchildren; two sisters: Ida Bailey (David) and Laurel Pena; special father-in-law: Charlie Gallagher; and his beloved dogs, Trixi and Xyla.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Norman Pena.

Dale was a man of many hats throughout his life. Born and raised in Mullen, Idaho, he was an avid skier who loved the outdoors. He served nearly four years in the Army. True to his adventurous spirit, he was a wayward traveler. Throughout his lifetime, Dale worked a variety of jobs and trades, including time in the Sunshine Silver Mines, construction, paving, trucking, and many other odd jobs. Eventually, he and his beloved wife retired together after years of working together as an OTR Team, driving all over the country. Dale was a friend of Bill W. for most of his life. He served as the president of the Star Rider MC of New Hampshire, where he formed many friendships and shared his love of motorcycles and the open road. More recently, Dale “ABSOLUTELY” accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and became a member of Crossland Community Church in Glasgow, KY. Dale’s favored pastimes were riding his beloved Harleys, helping others and being beside his wife, Lisa, in whatever he was doing. Dale cherished the life they had together.

Dale’s family would like to express their heartfelt appreciation to all the family and friends who came by to visit him from nearby and from across the country. Your presence, love, prayers, and kindness mean more than words can express.
