| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Saturday, November 12, 2016 <<< Dean Medhaug, 75, of Sisseton, S.D. passed away Nov. 10, 2016. Dean was born July 7, 1941 to Gehard and Dora (Jensvold) Medhaug, in Veblen, S.D. Dean graduated from Veblen Public School in 1959. He then farmed with his father on the family farm. Dean was a member of the Nidaros Lutheran Church, Rural Veblen and Our Saviors in Veblen. Dean and Sonja were united in marriage Aug. 11, 1962. They made their home on the family farm in 1962. In 1994, they moved to the Sisseton area. Farming was very important to Dean and he truly loved all parts of it. Dean was a director for Lake Region Electric for many years, first filling in when his father passed unexpectedly in 1966, and retiring from LREA in 1994. Dean’s hobbies were bowling and golfing with his many friends. His dream was to travel to all the states, which he accomplished, along with Australia and New Zealand. Another dream was to go to Norway where his family originated. This he did in 2014, visiting relatives. He loved standing on Medhaug Beach in Karmoy. Another dream was to attend all four Majors and the Ryder Cup. He attended all but the British Open. His real joy though, was watching his grandson Ryan grow into a young man. While Ryan was in high school, they traveled the state watching him play golf, wherever and whenever, rain, sleet or snow. Dean and Sonja spent the winter months in Lake Havasu City with friends and family from South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota. While in Arizona, they spent their time golfing and enjoying the desert and mountains. Dean is survived by his wife Sonja, two sons Craig and Jason (Karen) and grandson Ryan. He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
