of West Helena, AR

September 13, 1949 - June 3, 2023

Troy Dale Chism, age 73, passed away on Saturday, June 3, 2023 at his residence.
Dale was born on Tuesday, September 13, 1949 in Prentiss County Mississippi. He was the sixth of nine children born to C.B. and Jewell Chism.
Dale was a Veteran of the Marine Corps. He had many jobs in his lifetime, but he was known around here as a machinist, fabricator and a welder (he considered himself the best). He could build or make anything he set his mind on. Even cancer or his other serious health issues could not stop him from doing what he loved most… hunting and fishing, but he also enjoyed playing a game of spades. Living life in his own unique way - answering to no one! Many have commented that he was the toughest man they have ever known, living a lifestyle like no other!
Dale is survived by six siblings, Doris Grady of Green Forest, AR; Pat Smith (W.A) of Poplar Grove, AR; Roy Chism of Ruskin, FL; Ray Chism (Gayle) of Lexa, AR; Danny Chism (Vanessa) of White Castle, LA; Wanda Henson (Daniel) of Poplar Grove, AR. Two sister-in-laws, Carrie Shores of Visalia, CA and Nelda Carnley of Morganza, LA. A special nephew, Terry Lynn Corbitt of West Helena, AR. Twenty one other nieces and nephews and many more great nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers Rex Chism and Billy Chism; a niece, Donna Polen and nephews, Tony Pryor and Bryan Chism.
No service is planned at this time.
