Elroy Dahl
1940-2021
Elroy Dahl of Medford, went to his heavenly home Dec. 24, 2021 at Marshfield Medical Center, two days short of his 81st birthday surrounded by his loving family. A funeral mass was held on Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2021 at 11 a.m. at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Medford, with Father Patrick McConnell officiating. Visitation was from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service. Interment took place at the Evergreen II Cemetery. Pallbearers were his grandchildren, Ashley, Alex, Makenna, Garrett, Dakota and Maddie.
Elroy was born Dec. 26, 1940 to the late Fred and Eleanor (Riemer) Dahl. In his early years he enjoyed working in the woods, and construction and spent most of his career as a machine operator for Michel’s Pipeline which led him to many different states.
In his earlier years he loved ice fishing, especially the contests, even won a few. He also enjoyed hunting, going to auctions, his garden, and most recently sitting outside in the summer sunshine. But most of all he enjoyed all the visits from his family. As many of his nurses would say, he was a very sweet man. And was a favorite Uncle to many.
He will be dearly missed by his loving wife of 58 years, Diane; his five children, Barb (Forrest) Tappe, David (Michele) Dahl, Jeff (Lisa) Dahl, Wayne (Molly) Dahl, Rodney (Wendy) Dahl, all of Medford; his special grandchildren, Ashley (Chad) Allen, Viroqua, Alex Dahl, Minneapolis, Makenna (Cody) Miller, Garrett Dahl (special friend-Grace), Dakota Dahl (special friend Carlie) all of Medford and Maddie, Alex, Jake (Shelly) Tappe, all of Weston; and four great-grandchildren, Ellanor Allen, Blayke, Tanner, and Laceigh Miller who all held a very special place in Great Grandpa’s heart. His surviving siblings are Evangeline Becker, Jacky Faber, and Lyle Dahl.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers, Lester and Eudell.
