Clay R. Dahl

Clay R Dahl, 66, a resident of Salt Lake City, UT, passed away peacefully in his home on October 1, 2021. Clay was born March 10, 1955 in Lebanon, Oregon to Ted and Wanda Dahl.

Clay had a few childhood homes, but most memorable was in his early years in Sandy, Oregon where his family managed a berry farm and other businesses. He graduated from Sandy

High School and proudly earned his Eagle Scout as a Boy Scout of America. Scouting has always been very important to Clay and his family.

Clay then served two years for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a missionary in the Switzerland, Zurich Mission. Clay excelled as a missionary and loved to share his testimony of Jesus Christ. After his church service Clay attended Snow College where he studied history and wanted to be a teacher. While in college he met Ann Rasmussen (Dahl), and the two of them were married for time and all eternity in the Manti Temple in 1977.

Clay worked as a commercial glazier, co-owned a drafting company, and excelled as both a commercial and residential builder. He moved to Palmer, Alaska in 1995 with his family where he began building homes. He also started and owned an assisted living company in 1999. Of all of Clay’s loves and passions, his family was first. He loved them dearly and being with them brought him the most joy. In his later years, his focus was his grandchildren, sneaking sweets to them, playing with them, and spoiling them as much as he could - usually to the objection of their parents. Clay was loving, true, and generous to everyone he met.

He is preceded in death by his father Ted and brother Dave.

He is survived by his mother Wanda; brothers Mark, Kent, and Chet; sisters Lili, Dana, and Tina; his wife Ann; children Nathan (Cami), Katie (Anibal), Sarah (Robert), Daniel (Kadie), David (Micah), and Christian; grandchildren, Leah, Alexi, Alyssa, Bailey, Boone, Callie, Clay,, Hinckley, Rutledge, Benjamin, Alice, Adam, Callahan, Georgia, Georgie, and Peter.
