Duane’s Obituary Duane Bachmeier—59, Minot, passed away on Sunday, October 13, 2019 in a Minot nursing home. Duane Douglas Bachmeier was born on September 1, 1960, a son of Mathias “Matt” and Elaine (Neigel) Bachmeier in Minot, ND. He was raised and educated in Minot, Karlsruhe, and Plaza. Duane attended the North Dakota State College of Science at Wahpeton, where he studied welding. He began his working career at the age of 13 at Nielsen dairy farm and continued to assist them throughout his lifetime. He later worked for the Minot Park District, where he took care of flowerbeds. Duane loved spending time with his friends and family at gatherings around a bonfire having a drink. He loved music and always had a radio close by playing rock; he also enjoyed the weekly Polka-party on Sunday afternoons. He enjoyed camping, fishing, swimming and playing Santa Claus for daycares, church and his nieces and nephews. He loved to cook and those around him were blessed to share his generosity. He cared for and raised many dogs over the years. His Dobermans, especially Apollo, Zeus and Isis were his favorites. While strangers were rightfully hesitant around them, Duane made sure his dogs were gentle and loving towards his family. He trained his mother’s bar guard dogs to pull his younger sisters on a sled in the winter and his Dobermans to pull his nieces and nephews in the wagon and on the sled. Duane enjoyed driving and giving rides to family and friends, neighbors, or even a stranger carrying groceries down the street. He was a member of the Harmony Center in Minot and was often found there and around town playing bingo and visiting. He was a member of KC Council 9906 and helped with many breakfasts and dinners over the years. Duane is survived by: His siblings: Judy Ressler, Char (Fred) Beehler, Ron (Mary) Bachmeier, Cindy (Jerry) Clark, Larry (Ruth) Bachmeier, Sharon (Ron) Donamaria, Sandy (Mark) Klimpel, Tami (Randy) Christianson, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Duane was preceded in death by his parents, a brother-in-law Clarence Ulledahl, Jr. and many relatives and friends.
