Dale, a brother to Bonnie and Kathryn Knutson, passed away Monday, May 25, 2026, at the Appleton Area Hospital at the age of 80. He was born May 12, 1946, at the hospital in Dawson, MN, to Merrill and Theressa (Johnson) Knutson, who had the Knutson hardware and implement store in Boyd. Dale graduated from college and received a degree in accounting. As the years went by, Dale was having difficulty in his work performance with accuracy; his mom and dad knew he needed in-home attention. In his final years, Dale lived at the Inglewood home in Marshall, where Teresa the supervisor, along with the rest of the staff, cared, loved and helped him with his needs as he aged. Dale is now in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will miss him as he called us every day to share his thoughts and love. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Dear friends may you have this peace that only God can give us. A graveside service will be held at a later date.
