SHERWOOD - Duane Edward Feland, 88, rural Antler, died Sunday, Oct. 9, 2022, at a Minot hospital.
Duane was born Sept. 18, 1934, in Thief River Falls, Minn., to Ralph and Wilma (Engelstad) Feland. He was raised in Antler, attended Wheaton Township School, and graduated from Antler High School in 1952. He then attended college in Wahpeton before returning home to farm with his father.
Duane married the love of his life, LaDonna Southam, on Oct. 3, 1954. He gained a best friend and partner, along with a big, extended family of sisters- and-brothers-in-law, and life-long friends. Duane and LaDonna farmed for 37 years in Wheaton Township, Bottineau County, and after retiring from farming, Duane launched another business, a 20-year career of custom combining with his son-in-law, Chad Driscoll.
Duane was well known as a builder and inventor; always ready to pull out his pen and figure out how to make things work. He had an extensive list of things he built throughout the area including six houses, three shops, numerous Quonsets, pole barns, sheds, kitchen cabinets, combine trailers, and almost anything else that needed to be built. He also invented and patented one of the first mechanical Rock Pickers, designed and built his own farm sprayers, and had an extensive collection of re-built muscle-car Camaros.
Duane was always active in the community, serving as a trustee and an active member of St. James Catholic Church, Sherwood, a charter member of the Antler Rural Fire Department, and an active and founding member of the Antler Outlaws. He also traveled extensively throughout his life, covering most of the U.S., Alaska and Hawaii, Europe, The Holy Land, Australia, South Africa; and a very memorable and special trip through Russia.
Duane was known as a sincere and honest man, neighbor, true friend and always known to have a joke and a laugh. It was always a three-hour visit if you stopped at the farm. Duane loved his family fiercely and was so proud of them all. He lived his life to the fullest.
