Arnold G. Bentz, 84, of Bismarck, died on June 5, 2025, and Sanford Health, Bismarck.
A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, June 20, 2025, at Bismarck Community Church, Bismarck, ND. Visitation will be held on Thursday from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Bismarck Funeral Home and will continue one hour prior to the service on Friday.
Literally born on a farm in Hebron, ND on November 15, 1940, to George and Bertha (Kraenzel) Bentz, and raised on a farm in Heil, ND. After leaving the farm at age 24 to work for Atlas/Knife River, he retired at the age of 81.
Married Carole Lightbody on July 30, 1965. In November a son, Robert, was added to the family. In March of 1969 a daughter, RonDa, made the family complete.
Although Arnold worked hard, he still managed to have fun camping and fishing. He had two very special fishing buddies in Leonard Rath and Eugene Faul.
He fulfilled his dream of living in the country again when he bought a place in Menoken, ND, where he bought calves in the spring and sold them in the fall. He did all of this while still working at Knife River.
Arnold is survived by his wife, Carole; son, Robert Bentz; daughter, RonDa (Scott) Schriock; three grandsons, Brandon (Katie) Bentz, Troy Bentz, and Jordan Schriock; great grandchildren, Riley and Audrey Bentz; two sisters; one brother; and many nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents, George and Bertha; three brothers; and one sister.
