Gary Cameron Dahlen Jr., 61, passed away Monday morning, September 14, 2026, following a heart attack.

Gary was a beloved father who had a gift for making every situation more enjoyable. His presence could light up any gathering, and the laughter, energy, and memories he brought into the lives of those around him will never be forgotten.

Throughout his life, Gary worked as a truck driver, built grain bins, and served as a fabrication lead for TEAM Industries. Outside of work, he loved fishing, jet skiing, and spending time with the people closest to him.

Gary is survived by his four children, Mitchell Dahlen, Brittany Dahlen, Chase Dahlen, and Conner Dahlen and his grandchildren Ellyn and Dean Dahlen. He is also survived by his mother, Joyce Dahlen; four brothers, Craig (Andrea), Bob, Alan (Victoria), Mark; his sister, Kristin (Dave); along with many nieces and nephews.

He will be dearly missed by his children, his family, his friends, and everyone fortunate enough to have known him.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, September 25th from 4-7 pm at 2725 40th St S Moorhead- Community Room at Southshore Landing.
