Dale Biever

August 22, 1932 — January 29, 2015

DALE NICHOLAS BIEVER was born on August 22, 1932 in Pipestone, Minnesota to Nicholas and Lila (Brinkman) Biever. He was raised in the Woodstock, Minnesota area where he received his education in Pipestone and at country school until the 8th grade. After his education, he helped his Dad as well as neighbors farm. On February 9, 1952, Dale was united in marriage to Donna Dykstra at St. Martin Catholic Church in Woodstock, Minnesota. They made their home in Pipestone and Ruthton, Minnesota until moving to Holland, Minnesota where he was currently residing. Besides farming, Dale worked for Fecker’s Produce in Pipestone and McLaughlin and Schulz Road Construction as a dozer operator out of Marshall, Minnesota. In 2003, Dale retired from road construction but continued to farm. Donna preceded Dale in death on June 9, 2003. Dale remained at the farm near Holland. On January 23, 2015, Dale was admitted into the Avera-McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota where he remained until his death on Thursday, January 29, 2015 at the age of 82 years, five months, and seven days.

Dale was a member of St. Martin Catholic Church in Woodstock, Minnesota. Dale loved to play any type of music, whether it be on the keyboard, harmonica, accordion, or guitar; all of the music Dale played, he learned by ear. In his younger years, Dale played in a band with his friends at various locations including Playmor Ballroom in Pipestone. Dale also enjoyed restoring old tractors, farming and going to auctions.
