Dale's brother, Philip Meeks the South Shields actor, said Dale was due to celebrate his 49th birthday on the day of King’s coronation on May 6. He died at South Tyneside hospital in Newcastle on Saturday April 22nd. Fellow South Tyneside actor, Stephen Sullivan also paid tribute. He wrote: "“He was such a talent and had so much more to give. "He was loved and respected more than he knew. The last time I worked with him was an absolute joy. It hasn’t sunk in yet and today has been somewhat of a blur. "Dale, you will be dearly missed, you had a heart as big as your talent and a sense of humour and laugh bigger than both!"We are so incredibly sorry to hear the very sad news of Dale’s passing. He was the loveliest of guys, even though he was a Denton ‘Burner’, the the arch nemesis of the Byker ‘Grovers’! A sad loss at such a young age. RIP Dale. Sleep well bonny lad ?https://t.co/2NIG6AtI2i
