Jeremy Officer

Jeremy Officer, 42,

Minot, ND, passed away

Sunday, June 2, 2019 in

Minot.

Jeremy Gene Officer

was born on March 30,

1977, to Dennis and Robin

(Sundsbak) Officer in

Minot. In true Jeremy

fashion, of not many pati-

ence, he barely gave mom

time to get to the hospital

before he decided to enter

the world. He was bap-

tized at Christ Lutheran

Church in Minot.

He was raised and edu-

cated in Minot, graduating

from Minot High School

in 1995.

After high school, he

held various jobs for local

ranchers and farmers,

who he considered to be

his second families, but

found his true love with

his horses, bulls and

rodeo life even fighting

rodeo bulls for a time

with his good friend,

Cody Cadwell. He married

Laine Craine on December

6, 2005 in Killdeer, ND.

To this union, two boys

were born, Kiesyn Jarrett

and Kashdyn Gene, who

he loved more than any-

thing in this world. He

was so proud of the young

men they were becoming.

Jeremy was a simple

man who loved his fami-

ly. He loved tormenting

his nephew, Jennings and

his niece, Aleece. Things

usually got very noisy

when they were together.

His Grandpa and Grand-

ma Farm were a big part

of his life growing up. He

loved to go to the farm. He

always waited for Grand-

pa Farm to call him on his

birthday and sing to him.

It meant so much to him.

Grandma Farm always

made him his favorite

cookies, Oatmeal Raisin,

and nobody could ever

make them like her as far

as he was concerned!

Jeremy was a very out-

going person with the big-

gest heart. He would give

anything he had to any-

body that needed it. He

loved to have fun and

laugh! He enjoyed hunt-

ing the badlands for big

mule deer with his family.

It was always a competi-

tion between them. They

always stayed with Bill &

Lana O’Brien and had

great stories to tell when

they got home about the

really big one that they

just missed and some-

times they even brought

that big one home!! He

also spent a lot of time

growing up at his Grand-

pa Gene’s Cabin. He got

on his first horse there at

about 1 1/2 years old. He

loved spending time there

in the wide open spaces

fixing fence with his dad

and brothers and just en-

joying nature!! All of

us who love him will miss

him every single day. He

and his mom had a saying

between them from the

time he was a little boy

which was “Best Buds

Forever!!” “Best Buds

Forever” My Baby!!
