James Mazigian

James (Andy) Mazigian passed away August 14, 2025, at Sunset Drive Prospera Nursing Home in Mandan. He was one day shy of 94 years old.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, August 21, 2025 at 3 p.m., at St. George's Episcopal Memorial Church in Bismarck, with Father Hal Weidman and Canon Zanne Ness presiding. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the church. Burial will be at Fairview Cemetery, immediately following the service.

Andy lived in the Bismarck area all his life and was a proud graduate of Bismarck High School. He did construction work for many years, although his most enjoyable work was at Green Thumb Nursery in Bismarck. He was an expert in helping people select their perfect Christmas tree and it truly was his favorite time of year. Upon retirement, he continued his green thumb passion helping nieces and nephews in Washington and North Dakota plant beautiful flowers and shrubs to beautify their homes and yards.

Andy loved the outdoors, was a forever bachelor and was blessed with a good long life. He was a lifelong member of St. George's Episcopal Church.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew and Alice; along with nine siblings.

He is survived by his brother, Robert "Bobby" Mazigian of Sodus, Mich.; and his sister, Kathleen "Kathy" and her husband, Ray Thompson of Dickinson, N.D. He also leaves behind friends and many nieces and nephews who only knew him as their beloved "Uncle Zeke."
