Leo D. Burgard

Leo D. Burgard, 59,

Minot, ND, passed away

Tuesday, October 5, 2021,

at Trinity Hospital in

Minot.

Leo Dean Burgard was

born January 7, 1962, at

St. Joseph’s Hospital in

Minot. He was the third of

seven children born to

Leo and Alice Burgard.

Leo was raised and edu-

cated in Minot. Leo

worked at Farroh Roof

Truss, Co. for many years

and most recently worked

with his brother doing

construction.

Leo was blessed with

the birth of his first child,

Dean, in 1982, Eric fol-

lowed in 1987, twins

Aaron and Allen came in

1991, and finally baby

Leah arrived in 2000. Leo

married Tanya Clark on

April 26, 2001. Leo en-

joyed spending time with

family and friends. He

was not the one to talk

about his feelings or be

overly affectionate, Leo

showed his family and

friends that he loved and

cared about them through

acts of service. If anyone

needed help with a pro-

ject or advice on the best

way to fix something – he

was right there. He en-

joyed good natured jok-

ing- you knew Leo liked

you if he picked on you.

Leo was involved in local

pool and dart leagues for

many years. Leo’s hob-

bies and interests cen-

tered around the out-

doors. He loved trips to

the lake, especially the

fishing and fireworks. The

loss of Leo is hard to

comprehend but the

memories he left us with

will be cherished always.
