It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Korrie Close, 54, of West Fargo, formerly of Grafton, North Dakota. Korrie left us on January 26, 2025, just a few days shy of his 55th birthday.
Born on January 31, 1970, in Lisbon, North Dakota, Korrie was the cherished son of Eugene and LaVonne (Olson) Close. He spent much of his early life in Grafton before moving to a group home in West Fargo, where he continued to bring joy to those around him.
He could be found fishing on a sunny day, cheering on his favorite hockey team, or showing off his impressive action moves, he embraced every moment. His love for animals and gardening showcased his gentle spirit, and he was known for his playful personality, often taking on the role of “boss” to those around him. Despite facing developmental challenges, Korrie impressively learned sign language, showing everyone that his determination knew no bounds.
Korrie’s moods were as vibrant as his personality; he could flip from cheerful to feisty in a heartbeat. Even in his downtime, he kept busy, famously folding his dirty clothes in his own unique style.
He is survived by his brothers; Kim Close, Devils Lake, ND and Ken Close, Miltona, MN. He was preceded in death by his parents and infant sister, Kimberly.
