Nathan Solseth

Nathan’s services will be livestreamed below beginning at 7:00 pm, Thursday, March 13, 2025

Nathan Paul Solseth (55), of Leonard, ND, entered the presence of the Lord on March 6, 2025, surrounded by his family at Essentia Hospital following a brief illness. Nathan was born to Larry and Kathleen Solseth on October 3, 1969, in Minneapolis, MN.

He grew up in Moorhead, MN, and Mapleton, ND, attending Park Christian School and graduating from Central Cass High School. Following high school, he attended Trinity College in Deerfield, IL. Nathan was a lifelong learner with a deep love for history and numerous other subjects. His favorite textbook, however, was the Bible, God’s Holy Word.

Following college, Nathan began working at McDonald’s as a janitor and quickly was promoted to management. He also worked at Oak Grove as a Resident Assistant in the dorms where he met fellow RA, Allison Moe, who would soon become the love of his life. Nathan and Allison were married on November 1, 1997. They made their home in Fargo, ND, and later moved to rural Leonard, ND. They eventually worked side by side for over 20 years in the travel industry.

To Nathan, a day spent with family and his beloved dogs, was the perfect day. Nathan had a passion for many things including perfecting his craft and preparing delicious meals on his grills and meat smoker. He was a foodie (Sandy’s donuts, anyone?) and loved making Norwegian delicacies like rommegrot and kringlar each Christmas.

He loved to read. Whatever it was that piqued Nathan’s interest, he would quickly become a student of that subject, researching every aspect, gaining so much knowledge, that he soon became an expert. We never had to worry about the weather, because the family “meteorologist” always had his eye on the sky and the radar.

More than anything, Nathan’s love for His Savior, Jesus Christ, guided every step of His life. He was a Bible teacher, using his gifts to teach adult Sunday School, lead Bible studies and when called upon, would preach on Sunday mornings. He loved to tell everyone and anyone about how much God loves them.

Nathan was preceded in death by his mom, Kathy. He is survived by his wife, Allie, his dad, Larry, sister and brother-in-law, Lissa and Michael, sister-in-law and brothers-in-law, Michelle and Dave and Ryan and father and mother-in-law, Bob and Dixie, nephews and nieces, Zach, Callie and Kai, Becca and Peter, Libby and Cort, Addie, Paula, Kaleigh and Connor as well as many other beloved family and friends.
