Gerald was born to Paul and Edna (Herber) Dahl on February 21, 1950 in Spearfish. He received his education in the Spearfish schools and remained in the area all his life. He was well known for his expertise in construction. Growing up, Gerald enjoyed sports, working on his prized '67 Camaro, and fishing with his Grandpa Carl.

Gerald had passion and skills for hunting that he has passed on to his children and grandchildren. He loved spending time on the Thompson ranch. He taught his kids and grandkids to fish in Spearfish Creek near their home in Spearfish Canyon. He loved playing with the grandkids, even if it meant wearing lipstick. He was quick witted and funny, always making people laugh. He also enjoyed golfing and just being outdoors in general.
