Clyde Douglas Reimche was born January 27, 1958, to Charles and Dolly (DeLores Delk) Reimche in Harvey, ND. Clyde was diagnosed with ALS in the fall of 2022, but he never let it steal his joy. He fully believed that God was going to heal his body, and he kept that faith until the end. He passed away peacefully at home with his wife by his side making his favorite chicken dinner. Clyde grew up on the family farm near Martin, ND. He graduated from Harvey High School in 1976 where he was an active member in FFA. Apparently, there are many stories to be told about that class! He went on to Bismarck Junior College for a 2-year degree in Farm & Ranch Management. Clyde told everyone that he paid for his college with money from his cattle herd and custom baling business. After college, Clyde moved back to the family farm where he pursued his passion for farming and raising registered Black Angus cattle with his dad. He later took over the farm and enjoyed watching his love for farming carry through to the next generations. Although Clyde was not able to help as much in the last couple years, he gracefully shifted to the role of "chief overseer of all farm operations."
Clyde married Brenda Hart on March 31,1979 when his parents told him that he should get a farmwife to help him. He saw that she could drive a tractor, and he also needed a combine driver. They spent 46 years farming and ranching together side by side. They raised 2 children, Amanda Joy and Eric Douglas. Clyde was a member of the Mennonite Brethren Church (Cornerstone Community Church) and gave pastors a run for their money as he always told them "I wasn't late, you just started too early!" or "When I get there, then you can start preaching!" He served on the cemetery committee and always told people he enjoyed it because he could say and do whatever he wanted without a single complaint! Clyde served as a supervisor on the Berlin Township Board for over 45 years. He planted food plots for North Dakota Game & Fish for many years. Clyde was always willing to help someone out. He loved giving people advice whether they asked for it or not. He would usually remark "They must think I'm pretty smart." Clyde could strike up a conversation with anyone, and it seems he never knew a stranger.
Clyde had a positive and faithful outlook on life and shared it with many people. He was proud of his children and often commented how lucky he was to have his family living within 10 miles of him. Clyde enjoyed farming with his son Eric, nephews Jess and Alec, sidekick Joe Faul, and regularly called on his mechanic son-in-law Jeffrey. Amanda was his "favorite daughter," and he was proud of all the things she did in life. He was her prayerful warrior as she journeyed through a cancer diagnosis and overcame. He was proud of teaching his grandchildren the love of God. His grandkids Madison, Rebekah, Cayden, and Maryn, and "bonus grandkids" Carson, Grant, Zoey, and Graham were the highlight of his life. He enjoyed teaching them how to drive at a young age, whether it was a tractor or his pickup. He loved watching them perform in music at church and all their extracurricular activities when he was able. Checking up on Madison and Rebekah with Life 360 on his phone was a big part of his day! His last social outing was his granddaughter Madison's high school graduation – he didn't want to miss it.
Clyde was never short on sharing stories and his love and faith in God. He will be missed by all who knew him, especially his family and friends. We treasure the time and memories with Clyde and find comfort and hope knowing he has entered his heavenly home.
