Franklin "Frank" H. Stange

Franklin “Frank” Harry Stange, 68, of Fargo, ND, passed away on Monday, November 3, 2025, surrounded by family.

Frank was born on January 5, 1957, in Rocky Ford, CO, to Gerald and Nadine (Baran) Stange. He grew up in Denver, CO with his four brothers. In 1973, his dad’s career relocated the family to Moorhead, MN. He spent his childhood in Cub/Boy Scouts, learning to play the accordion, and working to pay for Catholic school tuition doing mostly lawn care and newspaper routes until he graduated from Moorhead High School.

Over the years, Frank held several jobs, but he spent the bulk of his career doing what he loved most — working as a mechanic. He was employed at A-1 Radiator in Fargo for more than 20 years, where his skill, dedication, and easygoing nature earned him great respect. During this time, Frank also dedicated himself to what he considered his greatest achievement – raising his daughters.

Frank is survived by his five daughters: Brigette, Cassie, Katie, Carrie, and Kayla; 15 grandchildren; and four great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers, Michael (Sally), Kenneth (Janet), and Karl; as well as several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Gerald and Nadine Stange; and his brother, Jon Stange.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, November 17, 2025, from 5-7pm at Boulger Funeral Home in Fargo, ND.
