Dale L. Miksch of Lincoln, Nebraska passed away at The Grace Space on October 1, 2025 after a courageous 3 year battle with ALS at the age of 70. Dale was born December 7, 1954 to Louis and Carolyn Miksch at St. Mary's Hospital in Columbus, Nebraska.

Growing up on the farm taught him the value of hard work, a love of farming, and the outdoors. Dale graduated from Scotus Central Catholic High School in 1973. He graduated with honors from Southeast Community College in Milford in 1988 with an AAS degree in Surveying and Computer Aided Drafting.

He worked for Gilmore & Associates in Columbus for 19 years followed by another 15 years at Nebraska Public Power District. Upon his retirement in 2021 he moved to Lincoln to be closer to his son and his bicycle club.

Dale was a member of Columbus Area Recreation Trails, Great Plains Bicycle Club, Great Plains Trail Network and Lincoln Hiking Club.

Surviving members of his family are one sister Diane (Bill) Petersen of Loveland, Colorado, one brother Larry (Mary) Miksch of Columbus, two sons, Jason Miksch of Columbus and Eric Miksch of Lincoln, nephews Barry Petersen, Adam Miksch, Brian Miksch, Drew Miksch, and niece Mandy Petersen. He was preceded by parents Louis Miksch, Carolyn Miksch, and one sister, Margaret Miksch.

In lieu of flowers, donations can go either to ALS in the Heartland or the ALS Association.

There will be a celebration of life, "food and fellowship", on Tuesday, October 14, from 11:30 am until 3:00 pm at the Henry Building, 2523 11th Street in Columbus. Sharing of memories will be at 1:00 pm.
