Daniel "Dan" Edward Radle, 57, of Orr, MN passed away on Wednesday, March 27, 2019.

Dan was born to Tom and Magdalane "Dillon" Radle on December 31, 1961 in Virginia, MN. Dan grew up in Orr and graduated Orr High School in 1980. Soon after, Dan went to work on the oil rigs as a "roughneck". He always said that is where he got his muscles. Dan then returned home to Orr to work for Forest Abramson at Abramson Construction (later to be called KGM Contractors Inc.). He would log with Tony "Norton" Norman for various logging companies in the off season. During this time, he met and married the love of his life Rebecca Kay Warren. They were united in marriage on August 9, 1986. They were blessed with three children. Shortly after, Becky joined him at KGM and they worked together, played together, camped all over Minnesota for various work projects and met many amazing people along the way. He and Becky did everything together and sure had the time of their lives. He was a foreman and heavy equipment operator for KGM and had a huge passion for his job. He always made sure the job got done right and many of his employees admired his leadership and work ethic. He continued to work for Forest at KGM Contractors Inc. for a total of 32 years until he and Becky retired together in 2017. He was also a proud member of Local 49.

Dan enjoyed fishing, hunting and golfing, especially if it included his family and friends. He loved boating and he and his family would take a vacation on Ebel's Housboats every summer. He also enjoyed taking RV trips with Becky to Florida to make memories with their close friends Katy Ebel (and family) and Mike Hoffer. He also took his family to Texas every year to visit his mother and brother. Dan loved to dance. He was always moving to the music, no matter where it was playing. His family remembers his smile and contagious laugh, and that he "had some killer moves"; the "Sprinkler" and "Chainsaw" to name a couple. Dan loved to tinker in the garage. He had a genius mind for mechanics which allowed him to fix anything. He was a Master Mechanic and Jack of all trades. He eventually used his talents to open his own shop "Radical Repair" which he proudly ran until his illness no longer allowed him to work.

Dan had an adventurous spirit and knew no fear of anything. Although he had an intimidating stature, he was light hearted and a soft teddy bear on the inside. He was also a man that would help anyone out, no matter the time of day or night, he was there for the people of his community and family. Dan was generous to a fault. He would give his last dollar; the only reward he needed was knowing that he put a smile on someone's face. When he wasn't giving, he was joking around with everyone……always the goal in life; to smile, laugh and enjoy life to the fullest!

Dan was a rock to his family, and he loved them with all of his heart and soul. Throughout his life, Dan and Becky were the best of friends, spending every waking moment together and loving life with their two fur babies Jozi and Jazi. His children and grandchildren were the light of his life; the sun rose and set on them. He loved to spend time with his grandchildren and took the time to teach them things and pass down his knowledge. Dan was treasured by his family and he will be dearly missed.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents: Tom and "Dillon" Radle; brother Steve Radle; nephew Eric "Bear" Kolstad; and father-in-law Dennis Warren.

Dan is survived by his loving wife Rebecca Radle of Orr, MN; his children: Kelsey (Patrick) Norri of Virginia, MN, Courtney Radle of Orr, MN, and Thomas Radle of Minneapolis, MN; grandchildren: Alauna "Lucy" Boshey, Weslee Norri, and Charlee Norri; step grandchildren: Wyatt & Rylee Jo; sisters: Celine Radle of Duluth and Colleen (Marty) Parker of Zimmerman, MN; mother-in-law Kay Warren of Lakeland, sister-in-law Brenda Warren of Biwabik, brother-in-law Mike (Denise) Warren of Chisholm; brother-in-law Bruce (Debbie) of Virginia; and numerous nieces and nephews.
