Chad Entzel

Chad Entzel, 42, Bismarck, died Jan. 2, 2020. Funeral services will be held 11 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 8, at Parkway Funeral Service, 2330 Tyler Pkwy, Bismarck.

There will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place.

Chad's life began in the small town of Halliday on March 31, 1977. He completed his high school education at Halliday Public School and went on to college in Wahpeton for drafting. His passion was not sitting in class, but rather working outside and being around people. He coached little league where he truly shined. He was a guiding light for many of the youth he worked with.

He spent the last 20 years living and working in Bismarck, playing golf, shooting darts and being part of a bowling league. Racing was a hobby he spent many hours enjoying. Being on the race track made him truly happy. He married Nikki (Heinz) Entzel on May 21, 2016, where they raised two boys, Marcus Heinz and Christopher Heinz. He was a wonderful son, brother, uncle, friend and husband. He will be missed more than words can describe.

He is survived by his wife Nikki Entzel; sons, Marcus Heinz and Christopher Heinz; mother, Deb Entzel, sister, Lori (Rick) Kraus; and nephews, Carter Kraus and Carson Kraus.

He is preceded in death by his father, Ernie Entzel; grandparents, Mary and Bernard Entzel and Gertie and Ervin Isaak.
