Brandon Nermoe

Brandon Nermoe, the son of Perry Nermoe and Patricia (Fassett) Sjue, was born Feb. 7, 1976, in Crookston, Minn. He passed away at the age of 38 on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2015, surrounded by his family, at Sanford Health Center in Fargo.

Brandon was raised on his parents’ farm near Towner but could most often be found at the vet clinic in Towner. Growing up he was known as a bit of a daredevil and enjoyed building contraptions that he and his friends could have fun with outdoors.

He attended school in Towner and graduated in 1994 from Towner High School. At the age of 16 he suffered an injury that left him in a paralyzed state. In spite of his accident, he never complained and though it may have ended his physical activity, it never took away his amazing spirit. After high school Brandon attended junior college in Bismarck until moving to Minot, where he resided for a short time. He moved to Fargo, which he made his permanent home. He cherished his voice-activated computer that allowed him to do many things such as playing computer games and looking up new recipes for his family to cook for him. He was an avid sports watcher and could often be found watching NASCAR or rooting on the Minnesota Viking and the NDSU Bison.

Brandon is survived by: his mother, Patricia (Chris) Sjue, of Fargo; siblings, Andrea (Brian) Boschert and their children, Gracie and Henry, of Glenburn, Preston (Alisha) Nermoe, of Fargo, and Calli Nermoe and her son, Logan, of Minot; grandparents, Darrel and Dorothy Fassett, of Hiawassee, Ga.; aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by: his father, Perry Nermoe; his uncle, Gene Nermoe; grandparents, Palmer and Pauline Nermoe.

Memorial Services will be: 3 p.m. today, Saturday, Jan. 10, in Zion Lutheran Church in Towner. Mr. Wally Fretland, officiating.
