Gail Gene Bolstad, 68, of Onamia, passed away Sunday July 20, 2025 at his home.
He was born October 9, 1956 in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. The eldest son of John & Betty (Peasley) Bolstad.
He worked his life as a carpenter and was highly skilled in his field, with his last place of employment being Peak Design & Construction before his retirement on July 15, 2025.
In his leisure time, he enjoyed riding his Harley, his horses, rock hounding, hunting, wood working and hanging out with his family and friends. He had many retirement plans that we will hold in our hearts for him.
He was always the first one to offer up his help or take on any task that needed to be done. He showed up for people and took great pride in being the one everyone could count on. His family and friends will remember him for the kind gestures he put out into this world and the big heart that he showed us all.
Preceding him in death, were his parents and his two brothers Scott and Arne.
Survivors include three daughters, Dusty (Ben) Bolstad, Misty (Mac) Bolstad, Moriah (Ethan) Meyer and four grandchildren, Cole, Hailey, Ramse and Lainey. There are also many cousins, nieces and nephews that he loved.
