Michael Serr

Michael M. Serr, 69,

died April 28, 2021 after a

courageous battle with

pancreatic cancer.

He was born on Sep-

tember 10, 1951 in Minot,

North Dakota to Robert

and Inez (Peterson) Serr,

along with a twin brother,

Merrill. Raised in Minot,

he graduated from Minot

High School, Class of

1969. He married his

“Best Buddy”, Mary Cline,

in 1972 and would be

celebrating 49 years of

marriage this August.

He graduated from

Minot State University

with a bachelor’s degree

in business and manage-

ment, which led to his

fulfilling career in the

convenience store busi-

ness. Throughout his

career he played many

roles; manager, VP of

Operations, consultant,

merchandiser and

trouble-shooter. He trav-

eled throughout his career

and was known to do

1,000 miles a week but al-

ways managed to get

home Friday night to be

with family. He loved to

garden and plant flowers

and jokingly said the

birds ate better than he

did!

In addition to his

parents, Mike was prede-

ceased by his son, Travis

Michael and his twin

brother, Merrill.

Mike is survived by his

wife, Mary; daughter, Tra-

cy Lynn; and two

grand-children Jack and

Abby Bigelow.

A private family service

will be held at Rose Hill

Cemetery in Minot.
