Dale Leor Skeivik, a Veteran, devoted husband of 42 years, father, grandfather and friend, passed away on September 25, 2021, in Phoenix, AZ at age 63 surrounded by his family and loved ones. Leor was survived by his mother Dolores; sisters Vickie, Karen, Maureen, Lisa and Stella; spouse Deborah; children Theresa, Patrick, Kristina, Sarah, Margaret and Daniel; grandchildren, Matthew, Joshua, Nora, Violet, Patrick, Iris, James and Lycan, and many more family members and friends. Leor had many interests that included camping, fishing, watching sports (Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Twins), Catholicism, John Wayne movies and his biggest interest, family activities. Leor enjoyed many family activities which included pinochle, board games, pool volleyball, watching Frasier, Renaissance Festival and family vacations. Leor touched many people throughout his life. Most people were intimidated when they first met Leor because he was 6 foot 3 inches and had a very deep voice, but that intimidation immediately went away once they talked to him. He was described as a “Gentle Giant” or a “Big Teddy Bear”. Family was everything to Leor and all that knew him understood he took pride in the Skeivik name. The world has lost an unforgettable one-of-a-kind man!!! In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations in Leor's name to the Salvation Army.
