Michael Dale Gadberry

Michael Dale Gadberry, 66, West Fargo, ND, formerly of Hendrum, MN, died on Monday, September 25, at Sanford Medical Center.

Michael was born on Dec. 6, 1950 at St. John’s Hospital, Fargo, ND to Herbert and A. Geraldine Gadberry. He grew up in Hendrum, MN and graduated from Hendrum High School in 1970. After serving in the Navy, he farmed with his dad near Grandin, ND. In 1979, Gadberry Farms got into the trucking business by purchasing three semis, one of which was for Mike. Trucking became his profession and his passion for the next 36 years.

In 1980, Michael was united in marriage to Mary Ann Grammond, Forman, ND. They lived on the family farm near Grandin where they welcomed their daughter Kristine into their family. Four years later, they moved into Fargo where another daughter, Emily Ann was born.

Mike enjoyed watching Minnesota sports, listening to blues and classic rock, and watching movies. The Vikings, Timberwolves, Twins, and Gophers have lost one of their biggest fans. Family was very important to Mike and he loved visiting relatives in other parts of the US whenever his job took him near them.

He is survived by his daughter, Kristine P. Gadberry, Pleasanton, CA; his mother, A. Geraldine Gadberry, Fargo, ND; siblings, Sandy Hedlund, Barrington, RI; Wayne (Cherie) Gadberry, Fargo, and Kimberly (Roger) Madson, Fargo; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Herbert Gadberry and his daughter, Emily Ann Gadberry.
