Avenson, Allen Dale Age 82, passed away early morning on Pentecost Sunday; May 19, 2024. Preceded in death by parents Sidney and Bertha; and daughter Kristin. Dale grew up on "The Farm" near Park Rapids, Minnesota as the oldest of one brother and seven sisters. He was a teacher, early computer operator, school administrator, and financial planner. Upon retirement, Dale was inspired to find adventure as a Norwegian Bachelor RV Traveler. If you invited him over for dinner, he would be curious about any subject, clean his plate, ask for seconds, then play your piano for hours without any sheet music. Dale is survived by daughter Ingrid Jones, son John, daughter-in-law Katie; grandchildren Nathaniel Hanson, Perry, Simon, Lucy, and Sidney; great granddaughters Addie and Luna; siblings Gerald, Nancy Kath, Karen Brix, Emilie Allen, Sally Shearer, Shirley Potter, Mary Nepsund, and Lynnette Lewis. Dale's unique journey will be celebrated at First English Lutheran Church in Dorset, MN sometime around the Fourth of July.
