Henry Eugene LePard, 73, passed away on October 19, 2024, in Fargo, ND surrounded by his family.

Henry was born February 2, 1951, to Edward Sr and Luella (Seward) LePard. He attended school in Fargo, ND. Henry enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1970. He proudly served his country where he was stationed in Korea. Following discharge, he returned to North Dakota and remained enlisted in the Army Reserve.

On July 26, 1972, Henry was united in marriage to Wanda (Reule) in Las Vegas. They made their home in Fargo, ND and welcomed three children: Lois, Henry Jr, and Zereana.

Henry was employed at the V.A. Hospital for 32 years. He retired as EMMS Supervisor in 2012. He took pride waxing floors at many other side jobs.

Henry enjoyed many things in life: fishing, working on cars, bowling, scrap metaling, road trips, singing and playing guitar, slot machines, and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.

Henry took many under his wing and helped anyone he could. He was quite the handy-man with a zany sense of humor.

Many referred to Henry as such a loving card. He was very proud to be called Hank and Papa.
