Inscription/Marks: 10/15/1944
Summary: Quentin Lange, 81, of Bremen, ND, passed away August 3, 2026, at the Lutheran Home of the Good Shepherd, New Rockford, ND, with his family by his side. Mass of Christian burial was held August 10, 2026, at St. John’s Catholic Church, New Rockford. Burial was at St Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery, Bremen. Quentin Edward Lange was born on October 15, 1944, in New Rockford, the son of Edward and Hedwig (Dusek) Lange. He grew up on the family farm near Bremen and attended elementary school in Bremen. He went on to attend high school at Assumption Abbey in Richardton, ND, graduating in 1962. Following high school, Quentin continued his education at St. John's University in Collegeville, MN, where he also participated in the ROTC program. He earned a bachelor of science degree in economics and accounting.   Quentin married Sheila Bellquist of Cathay, ND, on May 6, 1967, at St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church in Sykeston, ND. Shortly after their marriage, he entered the U.S. Army as a second lieutenant and concluded his military career with the rank of captain. During his nine years of service, he completed two tours in Vietnam. On his first tour, he was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received in combat. While recovering, he was sent to flight school, and during his second tour he served as a CH-47 Chinook helicopter pilot. Through the stories he shared over the years, it was clear how deeply his love of flying and passion for aviation were evident to all who knew him.   After completing his military service, Quentin returned to the family farm east of Bremen, where he and Sheila raised four children while building a life centered on family, farming, and faith. He farmed crops and raised cattle for many years, continuing to work the land until his retirement in 2021. In addition to farming, Quentin held the New Rockford Central School Bus Route #1 contract from 1976 to 2016. Anyone who rode the bus while Quentin was driving likely has a story to tell.   Quentin was a member of the Eagles, the American Legion, and St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Bremen. He enjoyed playing softball, bowling, and cards, especially pinochle, and treasured the time spent with family and friends. His deep Catholic faith guided him through the challenges of Vietnam and sustained him throughout his years of farming, family life, and service to his community and dedication to his country.   Quentin is survived by Sheila Lange of New Rockford; one son, Mark Lange of Bremen; three daughters, Roxanne Gunderson of Bismarck, ND, Mary Kay (Chans) Price of New Rockford, and Nikki (Spencer) Mills of Bismarck, ND; nine grandkids, Cauy Gunderson; Brianna (Luke), Caden and Preston (Kaiya) Price, Avery and Rio Mills, Raegyn, Isaac and Rhett Lange. Quentin was preceded in death by his parents and three sisters, Mary Palmer, Patricia Jacob and Yvonne Kuntz.
