Summary: Marvin Lyle Tande, 75, of Tioga, ND, passed away September 16, 2026, at the Sheridan Memorial Nursing Home in Plentywood, MT. A memorial service was held September 26, 2026, at Zion Lutheran Church in Tioga, ND. Inurnment was in the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery in Mandan, ND. Lyle was born on February 27, 1951, in Powers Lake, ND, to Marvin and Margaret Tande. Lyle was born during a terrible blizzard, which stranded him and Margaret in Powers Lake for ten days until they were flown home by Chet Anderson of Powers Lake in a crop-dusting airplane due to impassible roads. Lyle was raised on the family farm north of Tioga along with his three sisters, Lenore, Eileen, and Beverly. He attended school at Tioga Country School, White Earth School, and Tioga High School. He was raised in the Free Lutheran faith. In March of 1971, Lyle was drafted into the US Army. Following basic training, Lyle was stationed in Germany. While in the Army Lyle received the National Defense Service Medal and Expert Badge in 45 Caliber Pistol and 81 MM. Lyle was honorably discharged and moved back to Tioga. Lyle and Claudia were married November 10, 1974. From this union Lyle was blessed with three daughters: Kristy, Katie, and Kalli. Lyle was a very loving father who was determined to teach each of his daughters to cast a line, drive a manual transmission, change oil and a flat tire, and above all shoot a gun. Lyle regularly took his family on camping, fishing, and hunting trips, although he may have regretted bringing three girls along after discovering they ate all his Oreos and drank his Coke within an hour of leaving. Although Lyle loved farm life, he chose to spend his career working in the oilfield. He worked for Haliburton for 15 years, then Wescon, and finished his career with Amerada Hess, retiring in 2012. Lyle was a jack-of-all trades, fixing anything from Barbie dolls and the bikes of neighborhood kids to tractors. When Lyle wasn’t camping, hunting, attending auction sales, fishing, spending time at his hunting cabin, or completing remodeling projects for Claudia and his daughters, you could find him tinkering in his shop on his antique tractors. After retirement, Lyle and Claudia enjoyed spending the winter months in Arizona with friends. One of Lyle’s greatest joys was spending time with his eight grandchildren. He was a very devoted husband, father, and Papa, who always put his family before himself. Grateful to have shared in his life were his wife, Claudia of 51 years; his children and grandchildren, Kristy (Trevor) Zantow, Jenna, Kallie, Austin, and Mya of Leola, SD, Katie (Chad) Skalicky, Tanner and Tavin, of Tioga, ND, and Kalli (Scott) Zimmermann, Jake and Linzy, of Hettinger, ND and numerous extended family members.
