Dale William Layng, 59 years young, of Loves Park, IL, passed away Friday, April 30, 2021. He entered Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington on April 5th; he was transferred to Christ Hospital in Oaklawn for the last few days of his life. Dale had been fighting a rare disease for the last few years. It was reactivated after being dormant for a decade. He was such a proud, strong man, not many saw his struggle. He was born June 27, 1961 to Raymond P. and Dona J. Layng of Rockford, IL. Dale's entire career revolved around sales. He was most recently employed as an IL Real Estate Licensed Broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Crosby Starck Real Estate in Rockford.

He is survived by his wife Diane M. Layng of 10 years, Alexandra (Dani) Doty, Angela Layng, Jason Layng, Laurie (Juan) Terré, Lorraine Gustafson, Nancy (Ray) Painter and Patricia Vespa.

Dale loved Jesus Christ. He read his bible each morning. He partnered with his wife in helping others, whenever possible. They lead a bible study at City First Church, Rockford for many years. They moved over to Dale's mother's church, First Free Rockford, just 2 years ago. Dale tried out for the Cubs as a young man. He was a gifted athlete and loved softball, hockey, running, biking, hiking, basketball, golf and water skiing.

Visitation at 10 am and funeral at 11 am Thursday, May 6, 2021, First Free Rockford, 2223 North Mulford Road. Please show Cubs colors or logo in your attire, if possible, to honor Dale. Blackhawk wear is also acceptable (wink). Any memorial gifts can be sent to his widow: Diane Layng, 1105 E. Hosmer St., Loves Park, IL 61111.
