With deep sorrow, we share that Dale Edward Alfred Colberg, age 89, of Chisago City, MN, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 13, 2025 due to ongoing health complications. Dale was born on May 21, 1936 to Edward and Alice Colberg in Minneapolis, MN. As a child, Dale grew up working alongside his father at their family hardware store; later he went on to start Chisago Lakes Distributing alongside his wife Donna. 

He was a 30 year member of the Chisago City Volunteer Fire Department. 

Dale was an avid outdoorsman, he loved hunting and fishing, as well as being a talented woodworker. He took his family camping as often as possible, until they found a beautiful piece of land off the Arrowhead Trail in Hovland, MN where they continued to make many memories with family and friends. As Dale and Donna approached retirement they purchased a winter home in Brownsville, TX where they spent their winter months. Dale will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the chance to meet him.
