David Field

David Field was born April 30, 1964 in Langdon to Lorne and Gertrude (Howatt) Field.

As he grew up in Langdon, he cultivated lifelong relationships with his loving family, his large extended family and great friends. With many memories made, he graduated from Langdon High School in 1982 and from NDSSS in Wahpeton in 1984. Dave moved for a short time to Mesa, AZ. He spent many years working in the family Coast to Coast business in Langdon where he was always helpful and a warm friendly face. He began his insurance career in 1995 when he started at the Mostad Insurance Agency. He built his career there, achieved many career accomplishments and formed lasting friendships, especially with Danny Mostad.

David was united in marriage to Tara Olson in a candlelit Christmas wedding on December 7, 1996 at the United Lutheran Church in Langdon, ND.

They made their home in Langdon and first welcomed a newborn son, Sam, to the family and within a few years, a daughter, Emma. They continued to make their home in Langdon where they were close to their parents while they enjoyed raising their children, and building their careers.

Dave has been active in the community and gave his time to many things including the Cavalier County Memorial Hospital Golf Tournament. He was a member of the Langdon Eagles Aerie # 3454, the Langdon Country Club and the United Lutheran Church of Langdon where he served on committees and helped with various functions. Dave was a talented and avid golfer, having traveled far and wide to golf. During the winter months when he couldn’t golf, he enjoyed a good game of racquet ball. He was also a Vikings fan and enjoyed hunting, especially when he could take his son, Sam.

He is survived by his wife Tara; children, Sam and Emma, all at home in Langdon; parents, Lorne and Gertie; sisters: Judy (Elroy) Hanson of Mahnomen, MN, Carla (Tom) Nelson of Eagan, MN, and Sally (Troy) Schrader of Fargo, ND; grandmother Bessie Field of Langdon; mother and father-in-law Edwin and Sharon Olson of Langdon; sister-in-law Tami (Eric) Omdahl of St. Charles, MN; along with numerous aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and cousins.

After a courageous battle with melanoma, Dave passed away peacefully at his home on August 28, 2009.

He lives on in those who love him dearly.

Funeral Service will be held at the United Lutheran Church in Langdon on Sunday, August 30, 2009 at 2 p.m., with visitation beginning one hour prior to service.

Those who have lived a good life do not fear death, but meet it calmly, and even long for it in the face of great suffering. It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives and he lived well The hour of departure has arrived and we go our ways;and Dave his. Those to whom we say farewell, are welcomed by others and with them he is on a new great road. The life of David is now placed in the memory of the living. Miss Me, But Let Me Go Author Unknown When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me. I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little—but not too long, and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that was once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone. It’s all a part of the master’s plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know. Bear your sorrow in good deeds. Miss me, but let me go. You all have my deepest Sympathy

Was a shock to hear about Dave. I guess I was still "believing!" Thank God that he is no longer suffering. Thoughts and prayers are with your family. Lori
