Kenneth L. Dahl, 95, of Montague, passed away Saturday, July 12, 2025. He was born December 14, 1929, in Montague, the son of Marcus and Henrietta (Cordes) Dahl.
On October 18, 1952, Ken married Elaine Jensen, and they spent 54 years together.
Ken was a proud United States Navy veteran who served during the Korean War. After having served his country, he returned home, where he and his father, Marcus, opened a new store called Dahl’s Coal and Feed.

Ken was a lifelong member of St. James Lutheran Church, a life member of White Lake VFW Post #3256 and a longtime member of the Montague school board.
