Maynard Dahl, 87, passed away peacefully at his home in Moorhead, MN on October 27, 2023.
Maynard touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His outgoing and gregarious nature was a beacon of light in any room he entered. He had an unparalleled ability to connect with people, making friends effortlessly and filling every gathering with laughter and joy.
Maynard was born on January 8, 1936 in Rugby, ND to Emil and Marion Peterson and in 1936 adopted by his Uncle Thor and Betsy (Saude) Dahl.
He married the love of his life, Corinne Selland on June 2, 1957 at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rugby, ND. They spent 66 wonderful years together raising their family and taking several memorable trips together with family and friends. He served in the Army National Guard and had a very successful business career.
Maynard is preceded in death by his parents and his sisters Arnell Vicha, Alvina “Beany” Schaan and Mila Hornstein.
Left to cherish his memory are his children, Steven Thor (Pam) Dahl, Jeff (Sara) Dahl and Carrie (Scott) Rensberger, 8 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson.
A celebration of Maynard’s life will be held on June 2, 2024 at Steve’s home in Sabin, MN. We invite all friends and family to join us in honoring his memory and sharing stories of the remarkable man he was.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to your favorite charity in his honor.
Corrine my heart goes out to you and your family. You and Maynard meant the world to me and my children for many years. Prayers to you at this time.
I’m so sorry to hear this Corinne! Praying for you and your family.
We say goodbye to a very special life-long
friend. Such wonderful memories of a guy who was always there to help anyone who needed something done. A true friend.
Maynard will be sorely missed.
With love, Dick & Jane Harrington Walstad and sons, Jeff, Brian and John
Dear Corinne & family,
I’m so sorry to hear this news today. You & Maynard were such dear friends to me since Bottineau days! My heart swells with good memories! Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Much love coming from Texas, Jan Freeman.
Very sad to read the news of Maynard’s passing. My lifelong friend and always my co-conspirator!
Difficult to believe he is gone. We always said that we were “roommates” in the Rugby birthing center in January of 1936. Two January guys.
I would like to talk to Corinne at some point.
Hope we can make that happen.
Love. Jerome & Sandy Romine
My deepest sympathy Corinne. I will always remember the fun times my brother Larry had with Maynard.
You and your family are in my prayers.
Many hugs
Stormin Norman….Who am I going to give s—t to now??You don’t know how much you are going to be missed. Your family is my family and my heart breaks. Thanks for all the memories. Lots of love to Corinne,Carrie,Steve, and Jeff.

So sorry to hear of Maynard’s passing. There was never a dull moment working with him. Hugs to Corinne, I will be thinking of you in the coming days. RIP Maynard.
I will miss Maynard’s smile. I had the pleasure to make his meals and Farmstead Care and the Villa. Corinne your in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
We are so sorry to hear of Maynard‘s passing. He was a great guy, even though we pretty much lost touch over the last number of years. He was marvin‘s best man at our wedding! He and marvin are pretty much the same age. Let the good memories comfort you now Corrine and family. We love you.
