Summary: On July 14, 2024, Clemens C. Rohrich, 82, passed away at St. Vincent’s Nursing Home with his family beside him. A Mass of Christian burial was held July 19, 2024, at the Church of St. Anne, Bismarck, ND, with Father Paul Gardner as the celebrant. A private family interment was held at St. Anthony's Cemetery, Linton, ND. Clemens C. Rohrich was born August 27, 1941, to Clemens and Katherine Rohrich in Linton. Clemens, called “Boy,” was raised in Emmons County, attended rural school, but spent most of his youth farming alongside of his father. Clemens worked hard to support his family, working 33 years for St. Vincent’s Nursing Home as head of maintenance. He shared many stories working for Sister Louise, administrator. A favorite story was snowmobiling to work in a blizzard, and giving Sister Louise a ride on the snowmobile, her request, before he could start his day. Clemens had a true love for horses. Many years he rode horse and buggy in the Mandan 4th of July parade. Dancing was his gift, and a good old German polka had his boots flying. Clemens had a big heart and took great pride in helping others. The past ten years he enjoyed fishing with family, working on crafts, eating at Red Lobster, and shopping with daughter Char. His last trip was July 2023 to attend his sister Joanne’s 80th birthday celebration, a family road trip making memories. Clemens is survived by his six children, Charlene Rohrich-Reiswig, Pam (Vern) Kuntz, Kevin, Calvin, Darin (Tara), and Steve; grandchildren, Jordan (Michelle) Rohrich, Kathryn (Alex) Spilman, Carson, Gabriel, Grace, Mary, Julianna, and Caroline Rohrich; great- grandchildren, Riley, Reese and Rex Rohrich; four step- grandchildren, Eric Kuntz (Denise), Tanya Kuntz, Levi (Taylor) Kuntz, and Christina; twenty-two step-great- grandchildren; siblings, Joanne (Terry) Noziska, and James (Lorraine) Rohrich; aunt, Alice Kramer; special friend Ira; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Clemens and Katherine Rohrich; brother, Pius Rohrich; and grandson, Kaleb.
