Steve Fuegmann

Steve Fuegmann, 71,

Minot, ND, passed away

Tuesday, October 12,

2021, at his son’s

residence in Minot sur-

rounded by his loving

family.

Thank You for always

being there. Love you

Dad.

Steve Fuegmann didn’t

have hobbies. He didn’t

golf. He didn’t drive fast

cars or ride horses. Dad

didn’t even like to watch

football on TV. He was a

family man. Steve spent

his time with his wife, 7

children, 15 grandchil-

dren and 5 greatgrandchil-

dren. Steve was known to

have a sleeping baby on

his chest with two or

three more kids in his

arms. It’s what we do. It’s

what he did. He is was

our rock.

Steve was born April 6,

1950 in Catskill, New

York to Otto and Margaret

Fuegmann. Steve was

raised with four brothers

and attended Cairo High

School in New York.

Steve loves his friends

that he has kept

throughout the years and

made annual trips to visit

family and friends.

Steve considered Minot

his home and has made

many life-long friendships

who watched his children

grow up right before their

eyes.

While serving in the Air

Force, Steve was stationed

in Cheyenne, WY when

he met his only love, Lin-

da. Steve and Linda mar-

ried 49 years ago Sep-

tember 25, 1972. They

meant to have two chil-

dren, but God had other

plans. Even when they

thought they were done

having children, eight

years later came another.

Steve and Linda have

done nothing but open

their arms to more chil-

dren and have ‘adopted’ a

few more throughout the

years. Many friends still

call them ‘Mom & Dad’

and know that only

strangers knock on the

door rather than walking

in.

All seven grown chil-

dren live in Minot, a true

testament and definition

of family. Our home is

called Grand Central Sta-

tion, someone is always

stopping over, dropping

off kids or just nearby and

needed to poop. Always

an open door, open arms

and open hearts. The fam-

ily spent much of their

time camping, loved

Mouse River park ice

cream shop and roller

skating. Over the years

Steve continued to go

camping with grandchil-

dren and would even

sleep in his camper, right

in the driveway. It was his

happiness.

Steve could fix any-

thing or tell you a million

dirty jokes. Steve served

in the Air Force, was a gas

station manager, a realtor,

an insurance agent and

his last longest employ-

ment was with Ward

County as superintendent

of parks. He loved nap-

ping on the job at all of

the county parks.

There isn’t more to say

than Thank You. Thank

You for always being

there.
