Dennis Deaver, 73, Berthold, surrounded by his loving family, died Wednesday, September 15, 2021, in a Minot hospital.
Dennis was born February 17, 1948, in Minot, ND to Delwin and Ruth (Trondson) Deaver. He attended country school for three years and graduated from Berthold High School in 1966. He continued his education at Wahpeton earning a degree in welding.
Dennis was drafted into the US Army on March 11, 1969. He served twenty months in Germany and was honorably discharged from active duty on March 5, 1971.
Dennis was united in marriage to Jacalyn Bloom on June 14, 1975. They made their home in Berthold, where they farmed small grains and operated a dairy farm for many seasons. Dennis also worked nights at Marketplace Foods in stocking.
Dennis was a devoted member of the Berthold community serving on Zion Lutheran’s Church Council, Berthold Fire District Board and the Ward County Farm Bureau. He was an avid supporter of all Berthold School and athletic programs throughout the years enjoying his children and grandchildren’s successes.
Dennis enjoyed his time spent in the garden sharing the gifts of his green thumb and making lefse with his family. To pass the time in the winter months he enjoyed the challenge of putting puzzles together from 100 to 10,000 pieces. He was a devout Minnesota Twins, Vikings and Gophers fan who always had a game on the tv. Dennis rarely missed card playing with his friends, valued time at the Senior Center and was always willing to lend a quiet helping hand to those in need. Dennis will be missed deeply by all who were blessed to share in his life.
Dennis is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Jacki, Berthold; children Brandi (Brent) Kjorstad, Williston, ND, Derrick (Wanda) Deaver and Denver (Janelle) Deaver, both of Berthold; grandchildren Dale, Jacob, David and Delaini Kjorstad, Dawson, Quade and Cashley Deaver and Samuel, Audra, Ashtyn and Aleena Deaver; sisters LaVonne (Ken) Hornberger, Berthold, ND, Linda (Glenn) Stockdill, Garrison, ND, Lori (Panch) Harshaw, Berthold and Leanne (Mark) Brossart, Minot; brother Danny (Debbie) Deaver, Berthold, ND; sisters-in-law Janet (Rick) Lee, Plaza, ND and Jane (Delton) Brown, Hot Springs Village, AR along with numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
