Guy Miles Remme, 72, of Neillsville, MN, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his beloved family on Friday, November 8, 2024. He was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota on May 11, 1952, to parents Myron and Helen (Schumacher) Remme.
Guy was nothing short of man who held integrity and respect to the highest standard and demonstrated that when he entered the United States Marine Corp. in 1969, receiving an honorable discharge from service in 1972, having earned the nickname ‘Tut’ while serving. Shortly after he was relieved of his duties, he married the woman he would spend the rest of his life with, Marilyn Nelson; the couple married on November 15, 1975 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
They had three children: Christopher, Nathan and Summerlee Remme, who they all raised them in Grand Forks. For 20 years, Guy worked for North Dakota State Mill and Elevator, making his way to Head Miller. The value of hard work was always important to Guy, but aside from hard work, he found value in the simple things in life that brough him a great deal of joy. Like golfing; if he wasn’t working you could find him on the golf course with his best friend, George Perrin. Whether it was before work or after work, you could find the two on the green almost every day. Loyalty was important to Guy; he and George shared a friendship that lasted more than fifty years.
Guy was also loyal to his family; at his core he was most certainly a family man. Guy cherished being a father and grandfather. He and his wife eventually moved to and settled in Neillsville, MN, where they lived the remainder of Guy’s life. His family will miss his big sense of humor, his bluntness, how they could never sit in his chair, and how he was as a person; Guy would give you the shirt off of his back, even if he didn’t know you. Even though he is no longer with us in body, they will continue to carry love and respect for him forever and always.
May God Bless the Memory of Guy Miles Remme.
Guy is survived by his wife, Marilyn Remme, of Neillsville; sister Trudy Boleen of Mankato, MN; Children: Christopher (Michelle) Remme of Bismarck, ND, Nathan (Kasey) Remme and Summerlee Thomas (Remme) of East Grand Forks, MN; and 11 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren and beloved dog, Romeo; Friends: George Perrin, Roxy Hecht, and Reannen Blake, as well as many additional relatives and friends who will remember him fondly. He was preceded in death by his parents, Myron and Helen Remme and two brothers.
