Calvin Lavern Kahl was born to Keith Lavern Kahl and Cora Lena (McIntyre) Kahl on February 5, 1946 in Lewellan, Nebraska. Calvin lived in Nebraska until 1960 when the family moved to the farm south of Isabel. Calvin graduated Isabel High School in 1964 and attended radiology technician school in Minneapolis, MN. He spent several years working as a radiology tech in Sleepy Eye, MN before enlisting in the United States Army in 1970.

Calvin served his country as an Army Medic in Vietnam and was honorably discharged from Fort Riley, KS in 1974. Upon discharge, Calvin returned to the farm in South Dakota to help his father and worked as a driver for UPS. Calvin married Maxine Valentine in Webster, SD on September 13, 1975 and they joined Keith and Lena back on the farm. Calvin also continued to work as a radiology technician in the Isabel Community Clinic until the early 1980's. Calvin and Maxine welcomed daughters Nicolle Marie in 1977 and Merretta Lynn in 1981. In addition to working on their farm, Calvin served on the Isabel School board but will be more remembered for and took great pride in the countless hours at the scorer's table for the Isabel Wildcats. He also very much enjoyed the miles he logged driving school bus for Isabel School.

Calvin passed away on February 9, 2014 after a short battle with cancer and went to join his wife, Maxine, who preceded him in death.

He is survived by his daughters, Nicolle Kahl Hendrix, Fairbanks, AK and Merretta (Chance) Anderson, Isabel, SD; and one sister, Brenda Jensen, Duluth, MN.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Keith and Cora Lena Kahl and his wife, Maxine (Valentine) Kahl.
