Victor Weigel, 66, beloved husband, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away September 10, 2019, at Mayo Methodist Hospital in Rochester, MN, after a long hospitalization.Victor was born on February 15, 1953, to Frank and Magdalena (Aberle) Weigel at Jamestown, ND. According to his mother, Victor was always a gentleman as he allowed his twin sister to be born first.Victor was raised on the family farm west of Berlin, ND, and bought the place when his parents retired in 1977. He raised crops and cow/calf pairs. In 1981 Victor married Beverly Woehl in Edgeley, ND. They lived on the farm for 30 years until a tornado destroyed all of the farm buildings on July 17, 2011. They then moved into a new house in Edgeley.

A generous, friendly, humorous man, Victor was quick to help out someone in need or visit, tease, and joke with anyone. He was talented in a variety of hands-on work: as a mechanic (Oliver and White tractors were his specialty), as a carpenter, as a mechanic for Direct Electric of Edgeley, and as a jack-of-all trades in many other fields. These skills served him well during his 27 years as custodian and maintenance man for the Edgeley Public School (1986-2013). For the past ten and a half years, Victor was proud to serve the people of LaMoure County as a county commissioner. In this capacity, he was a member of the LaMoure County Memorial Park board and the LaMoure County Museum board. For the museum board, Victor was instrumental in the design and construction of the new High Prairie Chapel on the museum grounds. In addition, Victor was a member of the Edgeley Lions Club and the Transfiguration Knights of Columbus.

Another source of pride for Victor was being a school bus and charter bus driver for 48 years, taking hundreds of students to school and to school activities for Edgeley Public School and Jamestown Public Schools. Most of these years of his bus driving were for Neis Bus Service of Edgeley.

Victor is survived by his wife, Bev Weigel, Edgeley, ND; siblings, Tony (Irene) Weigel, Edgeley, Lawrence (Jan) Weigel, Horace, ND, Raymond (Virginia) Weigel, Edgeley, twin sister, Marianne Cardwell, Fargo, ND, Robert (Sue) Weigel, Bismarck, ND; sister-in-law, Martha Weigel, Edgeley, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-law brothers and sisters.
