David Rasmussen
March 25, 1961 ~ February 2, 2021
David Jerome Rasmussen, 59, of Fargo, ND passed away February 2, 2021 at Sanford Hospital surrounded by his family.
Dave was born March 25, 1961 in Fargo, to Kathleen (Montplaisir) and Jerome Rasmussen. He graduated from Fargo North High School in 1979 and went on to graduate from NDSCS in Wahpeton, ND with a degree in plumbing.
Dave married Tina Plienis in 1982, together they had two daughters, Kayla and Amara. He worked at Sun Mart Foods for many years and All Seasons Mechanical for about 6 years, along with lots of handy man work around the Fargo-Moorhead area throughout the years.
Dave enjoyed spending time with family and friends laughing and telling jokes. He also enjoyed watching football, hunting and fishing. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone, as he was very handy and could fix almost anything. He was a great guy who will be dearly missed by so many people.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Dave. Praying for all of his family and friends. 🙏
Tina and girls, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know he is in a better place. Heaven got a wonderful angel. You are all in my thoughts and prayers! ! 🙏🙏🙏😇
Big Dave oh how I already cherished all the memories I have at your house and all the time I spent there. Your definitely going to be missed. I still can hear your laugh to this day. Fly high.
Thoughts and prayers to the Rasmussen family. May Dave rest in peace.
Who am I talking to?
Dave is that you ? Or am I talking to myself?
Most days we talked several times and would laugh so hard we’d hurt. We’d take a break and couldn’t wait to talk nonsense again. Now I only wish we could. I need some of that humor right now. I’ll laugh again but not with you, that is what I’ll miss, I’ll tell myself we’re just taking a break.
Until next time Dave R.I.P.
My thoughts and prayers for the Rasmussen family. What a great neighborhood we all grew up in. May your fond memories of Dave bring you peace and healing at this difficult time.
So Sorry for your loss, He was so young.
An old friend
