Douglas “Doug” Wesley Nordland, 48, died Wednesday, September 2, 2020 at home surrounded by his family after a long battle with cancer. Doug was born the son of Robert and Barbara (Goers) Nordland on October 16, 1971, in Washington, D.C. He spent his early childhood in Maryland and then moved with his family to Fargo, ND where he spent a majority of his life. He was united in marriage to Roberta Maley on September 24, 1993 at First Lutheran Church in Fargo, ND. They made their home in Fargo until 2001 when they moved to Kansas City, MO for ten years but moved back to the Fargo-Moorhead area in 2011. Doug had a passion for motors and made his career at being a mechanic. He worked for various shops over the years but retired from Jim Hawk Trailer in 2009 due to him being disabled. Doug had many interests but his heart was truly in the sport of fishing. He loved to fish and it didn’t matter the weather and taught that love to fish to his boys. He also had a passion for drag racing, restoring his hot rods he and his dad started years ago, and playing pool with his friends.
