      Dale Adrian Lister

      July 22, 2026

      Dale Adrian Lister, age 64, left his home in Knotts Island to be with Jesus on July 22, 2026. Dale was born on June 21, 1962 at Norfolk General Hospital to Richard “Dicky” Lister and Erma Jane Wilborn.

      Dale’s legacy of life remains with his wife, Kim Lister. Those who were blessed to know and love Dale, include his two sons, McCrae Kalista and fiancé Morgan Diserafino, Colsen Kalista and wife Loren Kalista; his two grandchildren, Isla and Rowen Kalista, his two brothers; Ricky and Mark; and sisters, Valerie and Michelle.

      Dale lived his life out loud, literally loud! He loved the Kansas City Chiefs, his country and we all know President Trump! Dale enjoyed spending long days surrounded by friends and family on the shores of Carova Beach. As a builder and strong family man, Dale laid a foundation for his family and generations to come.

      A celebration of Dale’s life will be held on August 1, 2026 at 11:00am at Bridge Church on 3168 Indian River Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23456. Casual summer, patriotic, or football-themed attire is preferred, just as Dale would have wanted. A family burial will follow at the residence.

      Please leave a message of comfort for the Lister family at gallopfuneralservices.com. Gallop Funeral Services was entrusted with arrangements.

        OUR HISTORY

        The Nags Head Chapel and Company Headquarters

        Nags Head Chapel

        Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was founded in Nags Head, NC in 2006 by licensed North Carolina Funeral Director Courtney N. Gallop. This independent, minority and woman-owned start-up funeral home challenged the existing monopoly firm which had sole control of all funeral care, goods, and services provided in Manteo, the Outer Banks, and Currituck County for nearly 100 years.

        Finally - someone brought competition into the local funeral industry. As a direct result of Gallop Funeral Services, Inc., local families now have choices, options, alternatives, fairer pricing, flexibility, and a higher level of service in funeral care for their loved ones.

        The Barco Memorial Chapel - Currituck

        Barco Chapel

        In 2016, Gallop Memorial Chapel was opened in Barco, NC. The spacious, newly remodeled facility is the first and only funeral service-related business ever to locate in Currituck County. The Barco Gallop Memorial Chapel is conveniently located near the Outer Banks, Moyock and Elizabeth City. The elegant yet relaxing chapel interior is welcoming and comfortable for viewings, family gatherings, funerals, and memorial services. Our Barco chapel is perfectly equipped to serve all faiths and families in the county.

        Courtney Gallop and the staff at Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. are committed to excellence. We continue to improve, grow, invest, and learn in order to provide the highest level of service for all families entrusted to our care.

        Capital Crematory

        Capital Crematory

        In 2011, we built and established Capital Crematory, the first and only crematory ever in Dare County. The crematory supports Gallop Funeral Services and also provides professional cremation services for other funeral homes in the Albemarle area. Having our own local crematory means your loved one's cremation will be handled personally by owners of the funeral home, 100% locally, quickly, and at the best pricing.
