Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryHELMUT DAHL
Helmut passed away peacefully, with family by his side.
He leaves to mourn his wife, Roberta; daughter, Jacqueline (Chris); and treasured grandsons, Jacob and Owen. He is also survived by his father, Henry Dahl; his siblings, Henry (Elaine), Helene (Eric), Irmgard (Willy), Erwin, and Hildy (Michael); as well as many nieces and nephews. Helmut was predeceased by his beloved daughter, Monica, and mother, Lina Dahl.
Born in Volendam, Paraguay, Helmut immigrated to Winnipeg, Manitoba with his family in 1960. Though he resided in various places throughout his life, his heart always remained in Winnipeg. Helmut began his career as an electrician, which eventually led to the establishment of Dahl Homes Ltd., a home building company. Following a move to British Columbia, Helmut transitioned into a successful career in real estate.
A passionate golfer, Helmut cherished spending his winters in Arizona, enjoying rounds on some of his favourite courses. He was also an avid hockey fan and a lifelong supporter of the Toronto Maple Leafs. In his younger years, he played as a goaltender for the St. James Canadians, and later in life, he took great pride in watching his grandsons play hockey as a devoted Opa.
Helmut will be deeply missed for his sharp sense of humour, unwavering positivity, candid nature, and larger-than-life presence.
He spent his final days at the Melville Hospice, under the compassionate care of its exceptional staff and volunteers. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude for the kindness and support shown during this time. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Helmut's memory to the Melville Hospice Home.
A private family Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Words can never express how sad we are to hear of Helmut’s passing. Our most sincere condolences to you Roberta and family. We missed Helmut not coming Mesa, Az because when he did, the whole crew enjoyed his laughter, and his great attitude. He will be missed..

This one stings. Henry and Helmut moved into the West End some time in the Sixties. Helmut was athletic and Henry was the neighbourhood bully! Just kidding Henry! Both excellent guys and fun to hang with growing up. I mentioned to someone that I don't believe I ever saw Helmut angry. A few years back he was in town for a visit and I ran into them on the course at Kildonan. Helmut and I had a too-brief catch up yak before the others started yelling at us. We both played goal in hockey and no conversation we ever had when we were older didn't end without us laughing about the time we met in Junior and we let in 23 goals between us! He won, letting in one goal less. My condolences to the Dahl family. - Posted by: John Jameson (Friend) on: May 06, 2025

I always smile when I think of Helmut, he was always telling jokes. Helmut was fun to play golf with, calling his shots, and laughing out loud when he screwed up which wasn’t often. We had a lot of fun together playing hockey, and golf. I’ll miss him! My deepest condolences to Roberta, Jacqueline Chris Owen, and Jacob. Also his father, brothers, and sisters. - Posted by: Udo Kreis (Friend) on: May 03, 2025
