William Doran

William Dale Doran, 75, of Ash Grove, Missouri, passed away Tuesday, December 9, 2025. He was born on December 1, 1950, to Ralph and Margie (King) Doran. 

Dale was a man who loved the things that made life fun and meaningful. He enjoyed NASCAR and stock cars, and could be found watching something on TV—usually golf or a good old western. He was proud to be a member of the Masonic Lodge. 

Dale was happiest when he was keeping busy, whether he was working on the farm, tinkering in his shop, or spending the day on his tractor brush-hogging. He will be missed by all those that knew and loved him. 

Dale is survived by brother, Gene Doran and wife Cindy; nieces, Jessica Doran, Katie Myers and husband Josh; fiancé, Denise Matthews; other family and friends. 

Dale was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Margie Doran.
