 Chase Logan Fugere, 22, of Minot, ND died on Saturday, July 8, 2017 from complications related to a motorcycle accident.

Chase was born August 15, 1994 in Minot, ND the son of Jeff and Tammi Fugere. He was raised and educated in Minot, attended Our Redeemer’s Christian School, and graduated from Bishop Ryan High School in 2013. He worked three years as an apprentice electrician and graduated from the lineman program at Bismarck State College in May of 2017. He recently accepted his dream job as a lineman at MDU in Bismarck.

He loved sports and was a well-known basketball and football player in the Minot area. His awards were many. He played in the ND Shrine Bowl in Grand Forks. He was on the All State Football Team two years in a row. He started hunting and fishing at a very young age.

He loved his time outdoors with his dad and uncles who spent a great deal of time hunting and fishing with him. He was an expert marksman. Although Chase was an avid hunter, he had a genuine love of animals, especially his pets, Fluffy, Buster, Lily and Sophie.

Chase was a fun loving young man, a professional trickster. His mother says it could have been a second career. Unfortunately, he tried out 90 percent of his material, by playing pranks on his unsuspecting father and sister.

Chase had a wonderful sense of humor that will always be remembered by his family and friends.

Chase is survived by his parents, Jeff and Tammi Fugere; sister, Whitney Fugere (fiancé, Derek Borud); grandparents, Donna and the late Duaine Fugere and Terry and Marlene Thompson; aunts, Pamela (Gene) Schmidt, Debbie Fugere Fauske, Diane Fugere and Terri (Mike) Mongeon; uncles, David Fugere, Joel Fugere and John (Naomi) Thompson and 40 Cousins.

Chase was preceded in death by his grandfather.

 Celebration of Life Service: Friday, July 14, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. at Our Redeemer’s Church, Minot.

Visitation and an opportunity to say goodbye will be held on July 13, 2017 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Thomas Family Funeral Home, Minot. There will be no reviewal at the church.
In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate memorials that will be used in special tribute to Chase.

 

Our Grandson, Tyler Mick, Visited us here in Cebu

Tyler, our grandson visited us here in Cebu from May 19th to June 14th. He was here nearly a month on summer break from college.  We so enjoyed his visit. He spent a week with us in December too. With that trip he asked if he could come back in May/June for a month and of course we said yes. He has literally fallen in love with the Philippines and plans to return each year. He loves the friendly people and the culture. He has connected super well with all of his relatives here too. They are well bonded. He couldn’t hold back his tears and many here too, especially the kids, when saying his good buys.

Tyler gave his Grandma Bernadette a lot of papering, love and attention too of which she truly liked.

Tyler is very mature, outgoing and super friendly. His domineer, personality and social skills are very similar to those as those of my Dad’s, Bob Stokes, and of course his Great Grandfather too. We are all looking forward to his return next year.

Tyler is our Daughter, Sheryl’s son, He lives with his dad in Tacoma, WA. He will be a Sophomore at the University of Puget Sound (UPS) in Tacoma, WA

The spelling is Fosberg. Didn’t think about correcting that when I replied to Dick’s message.

From Dianne Rober’t Johnson (76): Rolla, ND.

Morning Gary,

Back to work on the 26th of Oct, but just now getting thru my e-mail @ work. Darla & I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts & prayers. The last few weeks have been real hard for Darla & me.

We were the ones who had to take care of the arrangements, the other 3 were too far away.

In the hospital, after the accident, Darla, Aunt Marlene & I went into Mom’s room, to say our final good-byes. The Doctor came in and told us that she didn’t suffer, the steering wheel and airbag crush her chest and her main artery burst, she was gone within minutes. We got the 1st call @ 9:40 am, she was gone before we got half way to Langdon.

The man involved in the accident, didn’t see her and pulled out onto the hwy. From the Highway Patrols report, witnesses said “it looked like she didn’t see him either”, there was no signs of her trying to stop, her van hit just behind the front wheel, passenger side of the truck. He was hauling grain from the field to a grain bin, in his yard, across the road.

I figured people would like to know what happen.

Mom was in the process of moving back to ND and going to stay with Marlene in Langdon. She had been living with our oldest sister, Carol, in WI. I was so glad Mom was coming home to ND to live, I missed her.

I’d like to extend my condolences to Janice’s family. She was a nice lady.

Gary, thanks for posting this for me.

Question from Gary Morgan (54): GARRISON, ND

To Karen Loeb Mhyre,
Was not your father interned at the Bismarck camp during World War II? Did he ever talk about it?
I think it would be interesting and enlightening to hear of the hardships our predecessors endured that were not necessarily related to finances or weather. To know where we came from helps define who we are.

Reply from Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND.

Gary and Friends,

Jeri Neameyer, thanks for the correction on who was who in Rolette. I
do remember Ron Cameron and now remember he was the coach who was
married to Myrna, not Ross Julson. Myrna was a very pretty gal, I do
remember that. Sorry to hear of her passing at such a young age. Thanks
for setting me straight and thanks Gary!

Dick

Correction from Vickie Metcalfe (70): Bottineau, ND.

UffDa Gary, Where was my brain? The class of ’70 were seniors in ’69
and ’70. The year of biology lab was our sophmore year! Although, I
believe Mr. Espe and Biology students continued the rabbit
Although, Ray had lots of younger brothers who were quick on the draw
and could get “wabbits” too.

Speaking of the Lagerquist Family. Being close neighbors, I knew the family well, However, those from Evon on down were not yet in school when I graduated in 1965. I left the country in 1966, so I wasn’t around the younger Lagerquist kids nearly as much. I remember their nice big two story house with a very large room on the north end that was often used for dances in the earlier days before my days. That house caught fire and burned down a number of years ago. Gary
