Dale Loth, a cherished husband, father, grandpa, and friend whose kind disposition and effortless grin transformed strangers into friends and friends into family, passed away unexpectedly, leaving Maple Grove in mourning. Members of the community were shocked by Dale’s sudden death and were at a loss for words to express the void his departure had left.
Growing up in the north metro region, Dale lived his whole childhood in Maple Grove, creating a house full of open doors, backyard cookouts, and laughing. The neighbor who always waved first, the man who arrived with a snowblower following a storm, and the grandfather who never missed a grandchild’s game or performance were all examples of how he had a talent for making others feel seen.
He put in decades of hard effort in the crafts, treating colleagues like brothers and taking delight in each task. After work, you could find him fishing on Medicine Lake, playing golf with his usual foursome, or mentoring young hockey players with the same care he used to teach his own children to skate on the backyard rink.
Dale’s family meant everything to him. His wife, kids, grandkids, siblings, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins who grew up believing that “Uncle Dale” was the coolest person alive are all left behind. Holidays, Sunday feasts, and any occasion to light the grill were all held at his place.
One of the silent giants of Maple Grove has passed away. Dale Loth had loyalty in his bones, love in his laugh, and compassion in his handshakes. Without him, the golf course is a bit quieter, the neighborhood is a little colder, and every porch light is a little dimmer.
In the upcoming days, the family will share details about a celebration of Dale’s life. Until then, Maple Grove is thankful for the remarkable man who made our neighborhood feel like home and kept his loved ones surrounded in support. Dale, don’t worry. We’ll reserve a spot for you at the upcoming barbecue.
