Don Marlo Krsnak, Moorhead, MN, formerly of Hendrum, MN, enjoyed a long, full life of 82 years. On March 25th, 2020, he passed away peacefully under the care of hospice at Eventide in Moorhead. He had a beautiful send-off surrounded by family.

His life began on April 21st, 1937 in Ada, MN. He was baptized and confirmed at First Lutheran Church in Ada, and he married the love of his life, Marilynn (Ellingworth), there on November 30, 1958. They made their home in Hendrum, MN.

His family is his legacy, and he is survived by Marilynn, his wife of 61 years; children Jody Kragness of Fargo, Todd (Hillary) Krsnak of Las Vegas, NV, Jana (Dan) Britton of Branson, MO, and Rodd Krsnak of Moorhead; brothers Roger (Sharyn) Krsnak of Rochester, MN, and Kim (Jayme) Krsnak of Fargo; 13 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by parents Ralph and Ruth (Nordby) Krsnak, and sisters: Sheri (David) Moen and Joan Sjolie.

Don worked as both a local and long-haul truck driver. Always hardworking, he stayed busy mowing ditches for the county and helping during beet harvest, not retiring until age 75.

Don and Marilynn enjoyed going on bus trips to Myrtle Beach, SC, Nashville, TN and to the Grand Ole Opry. They also loved going to Mackinac Island, MI, driving to Medora, ND, Branson MO, flying to Las Vegas, NV, and attending the "Kriswald" family reunions every year. Another joy they loved doing together was watching the Twins, Vikings and Timberwolves play in the Cities.

A loving husband, father, and the goofiest of grandpas, he enjoyed camping at the lakes with his wife; hunting with friends and fishing with his dad and children; working on his yard; taking apart and fixing anything he could get his hands on; playing cards with family and friends; watching westerns and Minnesota sports; and making his grandchildren laugh endlessly.
