Dail Lodge Jr., aka DJ, loving husband and father of two children, passed away at age 65 on Saturday, January 9, 2021, in Chico, CA.

Dail was born on January 28, 1955, at the White Memorial Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, to Dr. Dail and Carolyn Lodge. His childhood was spent in Monument Valley on a Navajo reservation in Arizona. Summers were spent in the high mountains of Colorado at his family’s ranch.

He received his Bachelor of Science in Radiological Technology and his Master of Public Health in Health Services Administration from Loma Linda University. Dail went on to become a Director of Oncology Services at Enloe Hospital, Feather River Hospital, and various other cancer treatment centers. He was married to Hannacho, the love of his life for 44 years. They raised a son, Jason, and a daughter, Jennifer.

Dail had a passion for sports, both playing and watching. He also loved playing board games and card games with his friends and loved ones. But his main passion was for his family. He was known for his sense of humor, dad jokes, quick smile, as well as his kind, generous, and encouraging spirit.

Dail is survived by his wife Hannacho, his two children, Jason and Jennifer, his brother Denver, his sister Sharon, his two grandchildren, Noah and Alexis, and a host of cousins, nieces, and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Jesus Center, the Torres Center, or Enloe Regional Cancer Center in Chico, CA.
