Polson - Dale Allen Ott, 60, longtime resident of Lake County, passed away in his sleep on Friday, September 6, 2024.

Dale was born in Chicago, IL to Skip and Sheila where he lived the first 10 years of his life until moving to Finley Point in Lake County, Montana. He later lived with his father in Minco, Oklahoma to finish High School. As a young man, Dale ventured off to California for a brief time until returning home to Polson. Dale, not known to ever be a stranger, enjoyed a simple and uncomplicated lifestyle that included his lifelong devotion to his pack of dogs. Considered lucky, Dale lived through what could have been a fatal fall and since that time seemed to have exceptional luck at winning games, raffle prizes, and even a bit of gambling at the Casino. But the thing Dale felt he was luckiest in was finding his lifelong sweetheart, Nettie. “Married life was good.” he’d say with a big smile on his face.

Dale was preceded in death by his son, Travis Ott Longo; father, Herman “Skip” Ott; and mother, Sheila Burton Collins. He is survived by his wife, Nettie Ott; son, Michael Ott; sister, Terri (Francis) Davis Dollinger; sister, Diana (Jerry) Reid; brother, James (Tomoko) Ott, and several nephews and nieces.

A memorial service is set for September 21 at 1:00 PM at the Red Lion in Polson.
