Dayton Amundson, 78, of Suamico, WI, passed away surrounded by family on Thursday, November 7, 2019.

He was born on October 12, 1941, in Minneapolis, MN. Known to many as Corky, he grew up in the small farming community of Cahill (Edina), MN. Upon graduating high school, the family relocated to Green Bay. After working at Red Owl Stores, Dayton began his career and rose through the ranks of the regional auto sales industry. Dayton married Phyllis Chaltry on September 4, 1983, in Little Suamico, WI.

Dayton cherished spending time with the love of his life, Phyllis—world traveling, taking road trips, going to music festivals, visiting antiques stores, attending flea markets and auctions. He was a member of the Red Wing Collectors Society.

He will be especially missed by family, friends and neighbors for his deep friendly voice and calming advice.

Dayton was preceded in death by his parents, Dayton W. and Lucille (Swenson) Amundson. He is survived by his wife, Phyllis; children, Dayton Lee (Todd) Amundson, Kym St. Clair, Kris (Barb) Mazurkiewicz; grandchildren, Jarod (Ashley) Hogan, Andrew (Brittany) Hogan, Dylan (Whitney) Mazurkiewicz; great-grandchildren, Elliott and Alexander Hogan; sister Barbara (Rick) Whiting; brothers Mark (Lee Ann) Amundson and Craig (Deb) Amundson; Niece Tricia Amundson and nephew Eric (April) Amundson; his cat, Hunter.
