Lance K. Mogren, 63,

Kenmare, ND, passed

Minot hospital.

Lance Kent Mogren was

born on March 28, 1959, a

son of Ival and Melba

Ruth (Schryver) Mogren,

in Kenmare, ND. He was

raised, as the youngest of

six, in Kenmare and later

moved out to the Mogren

family farm with his

parents. Lance was bap-

tized into the Lutheran

Faith at Elmdale Lutheran

Church and confirmed at

Nazareth Lutheran

Church in Kenmare.

Lance attended Kenmare

Public School and gra-

duated with the class of

1977. While in high

school, Lance was active

with the Kenmare Wrest-

ing team, and was State

Champion in 1976 and

1977. He furthered his

education by attending

Minot State University,

where he also participated

in wrestling.

He was once married to

Louise (Jensen) Mogren.

Together they had two

children, LaCee and Lee.

Lance worked various

jobs throughout his life-

time. He began working in

the oil fields of ND, until

1986, when he moved to

Colorado. There he

worked in the computer

industry and as a ware-

house manager. Lance

was a “jack-of-all-trades”

and excelled as the head

of maintenance within a

housing development. In

2010, Lance returned to

the Mogren family farm to

keep his mother company

and raise cattle. He retired

in 2022.

He enjoyed spending

time outdoors, long drives

down dirt roads, fishing,

hunting, and camping

with family and friends.

His three grandchildren

were very important to

him and he always en-

joyed spending time with

them. Whether it was

wrestling, butchering,

tinkering in the garage, or

playing games, he was

happy to have them by his

side. While in Colorado,

he was blessed with many

wonderful friends and

successful elk hunts.
