Dale Curtis Fox, 81, of Fairfax, Virginia, passed away peacefully on March 24, 2025. Dale was born on May 2, 1943, in Monroe, Michigan, the son of Malcom and Pauline (Piddock) Fox. Dale married Carol Quick on May 20, 1966, and they had five wonderful children. During their nearly 59 years of marriage, they lived in Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas before settling in Virginia.
Dale proudly served in the United States Navy from 1961 to 1965. He was a Sonarman in the Submarine Force and cruised on the USS Lafayette. After his military service, Dale worked in many different fields over time but dedicated most of his years to Electronic Data Systems in Plano, Texas as a Corporate Development Executive. Following his retirement, the couple moved to Northern Virginia where Dale devoted his time to his grandchildren and enjoyed being on the water and fishing. Dale loved being in nature and was always up for an outdoor adventure. He was also known for his amazing sense of humor, always ready with a new (or old) joke. He kept everyone laughing. Most important to Dale, was his steadfast faith in God that sustained him through joyous and challenging times throughout his life.
Remaining to cherish Dale’s memory are his wife, Carol Fox; children: Beth (Alan) Lee, Stephen (Patricia) Fox, Rebecca (Graham) Fox Most and Lance (Rachel) Fox. His legacy lives on in the lives of his treasured grandchildren: Zachary (Sydney), Madison, Hannah, Ethan, Caleb, Claire, Jolie, Ezri, Brett, and one great granddaughter, Veronica. Dale will also be lovingly remembered by his sister, Patricia Thomson, and sisters-in-law, Shari Dooley, Debra (Jerry) Dickerson, and LouAnna Quick.
Dale was preceded in death by his beloved son Brett Fox, his sister and brother-in-law Maxine and Larry Calvin, his brother-in-law Russ Thomson, and his parents Malcom and Pauline Fox.

Dale is a great friend that I’ve known through the King’s Chapel. He’s always friendly and kind and eager to talk to me, and made me feel like I belong. I really felt very comfortable around him and enjoyed our fellowship together. I will definitely miss him, but I look forward to meeting him again one day in our heavenly home! May God bless you and comfort you and your family during this time and always!
