Brian Allen “Lig” Langemo, 38, Bismarck, N.D., died in a motorcycle accident on August 30 in Bismarck. Funeral services will be held Thursday, September 4, at 1:00 p.m. CT at Bismarck Community Church, with Pastor Maury Millican officiating. Visitation will be Wednesday, September 3, from 1:00-9:00 p.m. at Parkway Funeral Home, Bismarck, with a special prayer service from 7:00-8:00 p.m. Visitation will continue at the church for one hour before the funeral service Thursday. Burial will take place at Fairview Cemetery on Thursday after the service and fellowship. Born January 27, 1970, in Mercy Hospital, Valley City, N.D., he was the son of Cathy A. Herman Langemo, Bismarck, and Larry P. Langemo, Valley City. After living with his parents in Florida and in Germany, Brian attended Bismarck schools and graduated from Bismarck High School in May 1988 and the welding program at Bismarck State College in 1990. Brian worked in the restaurant industry for a short time; for Unique Hardwood Floors, Bismarck; and in the Seattle, Wash., area. He returned in April 1994 to Bismarck, where he owned and operated Custom Hardwood Floors until his death. The artistic talent from his youth showed through in his hardwood floor work. As the “My boss is a Jewish carpenter” bumper sticker on his work van reflects, Brian had a deep and abiding love for and belief in the Lord. He often said to those around him, “Don’t worry about it. God will provide.” His family is comforted in knowing he is now watching over them from Heaven and that he will make a wonderful angel, especially for those dealing with the many addictions and difficulties in life. In addition to God, Brian was devoted to his family--his wife Cathi Jo Fitzgerald Langemo, whom he married on November 7, 1998, and his children David Fitzgerald and Kieler and Alison Langemo. Brian had recently renewed his interest in riding motorcycle, buying a 2008 Harley Davidson. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family, fixing up his home, listening to Christian music, reading his Bible and birdwatching. He was a member of Bismarck Community Church. In addition to his wife and children, Brian leaves his mother; his brother Barrett and family—Courtney Reddish, their son Riley and unborn daughter Marley Briana, and Barrett’s son Kade; his father and family—wife Pearl, son Paul Jonelle and daughter Jessica; his grandparents Curtis and Gerry Beaudoin Herman, Minot; his grandfather Paul Langemo, Valley City; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and satisfied customers. Brian was preceded in death by his grandmother Norma Borgen Langemo and his great-grandparents. Donations in Brian’s memory can be made to Bismarck Community Church and the Ruth Meiers Hospitality House.
