Dwight Keith Gahm

In Loving Memory of Dwight Keith Gahm

Dwight Keith Gahm, 75, of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on October 10, 2024, at United Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Born on April 11, 1949, in Logan, Iowa, Dwight was the son of Edward Gahm and Erma Alton. He was raised in Little Sioux and Mondamin, Iowa. After graduating from high school, he attended Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, and later earned a degree in Mortuary Science from the University of Minnesota.

Dwight married the love of his life, Paula Rae Arndt, on November 25, 1966. They shared nearly 58 wonderful years together, which included raising four children: Scott, Sheri, Stephen and Sean.

Dwight dedicated over 45 years of his career to the funeral service industry in the greater Minneapolis area, which began in Duluth, Minnesota. In 1989, he developed a suture and cut-resistant reusable surgical glove, showcasing his innovative spirit and commitment to safety.

Dwight was the owner and a certified instructor at GAH Minnesota Permit to Carry Safety Training, where he successfully taught over 20,000 students. A passionate outdoorsman, he was an active member of two gun clubs: Minnetonka Sportsmen’s Inc. and Minnetonka Game & Fish. With a keen eye and steady hand, Dwight consistently achieved bullseyes on the range, showcasing his exceptional marksmanship.

In recent years, Dwight and Paula enjoyed spending winters in Arizona. Dwight could often be found at the gun range or by the pool. He took great joy in the company of his family, and his children and grandchildren brought him immense happiness, alongside his beloved dogs, Missy & Mylo.

Dwight is survived by his loving wife, Paula; children Scott Gahm, Sheri (David) Redmon, Stephen (Susan) Gahm, and Sean Gahm; grandchildren Christopher (Kristyn) Voss, Cassandra Gahm, Brook Gahm; and great- grandchildren Maddy, Abby, Lilly, Tia, Mia, Dwayne, Olivia, and Bella. He is also survived by his brother, Terry Gahm. Dwight was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Erma (Alton) Gahm.

A memorial service will be held at 10:30 am on Wednesday, October 30, 2024 at Epiphany Catholic Church located at 1900 111th Avenue NW in Coon Rapids, followed by a Celebration of Life and gathering of friends and family.
