Daniel Lee Dahl was born on April 25, 1960 to Robert and Marilyn (Christenson) Dahl in Albert Lea, MN. He was baptized and confirmed at the United Methodist Church in Albert Lea. Dan graduated from Albert Lea High School and was a resident of this community his entire life. Dan married his high school sweet-heart, Paula (Stapleton) on August 15, 1981 at St. Theodore Catholic Church. The couple was blessed with two children.
Dan began his career working for Queens Products for three years until he settled in at Streaters, where he worked for 30 years. Aside from work, Dan enjoyed going to the lake lot, fishing, pheasant hunting, camping, motorcycle rides, and trips to South Dakota to the Buffalo Round Up and the Black Hills. Dan was a sports fan, playing hockey in high school and early adulthood. Dan was always a caring person. Throughout his adult life, he could always be counted on by those he loved. When anyone needed him, he was always there. He enjoyed helping his parents out, no matter how great or small the task at hand. He was a wonderful provider and protector for his wife and children, as well as a steady and calming force in the lives he touched. His greatest joy in life was spending time with his Popsicle Buddy, his Granddaughter, Jayla. She would come to "Grandpa Dan's Daycare", where they had endless playtime together. He was a loving grandfather to her.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Marilyn Dahl.
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of 33 years, Paula of Albert Lea; children, Daniel (special friend Mia Shurden) of Santa Cruz, CA, and Erin (Justin) Dahle of Goodyear, AZ; his granddaughter, Jayla Dahle; siblings, Bob (Cathy) Dahl of Heartwell, NE; and Deb (Jay) Hample of Lynn Haven, FL; a close cousin, Teri Bertrand of Colorado Springs; mother and father in-law, William and Donna Stapleton of Albert Lea; brothers and sisters in-law, Mark (Barb) Stapleton of Albert Lea, Ann (Gordy) Olson of Grand Forks, ND, Loretta Hanegraaf of Faribault, MN, Tim (Mary) Stapleton of Albert Lea, and Theresa (Todd) Braget of Albert Lea; caring aunts and uncles, as well as loving nieces, nephews and relatives.
Blessed be his memory…
