Wayne Leon Berhow, 48, of Fertile, MN, died on Tuesday, August 25, 2015, at the Altru Hospital, Grand Forks, ND. He was born on May 19, 1967, to Leon "Bud" and Corrine (Gudvangen) Berhow in Crookston, MN. He was baptized and confirmed at the Varnes Lutheran Church, near his home. Wayne attended the Fertile-Beltrami School District, graduating in 1986.

Following his schooling, Wayne worked with his father building and remodeling houses. He also worked as farm labor for the Engelstad farms. For a few years, Wayne worked for Vinco, a company that installed the cement base for cell towers. He returned to the area and worked for Circle C Seeds at Gary, MN. When his daughter, Jordyn, was born, Wayne started working for Eirc Engelstad farms to be closer to home.

Wayne's family worked, played, laughed and mourned together as a close-knit family. As a small boy, Wayne's mechanical abilities began to be revealed and he developed his skills over the years. He enjoyed fishing and hunting, coffee time with family and friends and being outdoors. However, Jordyn was Wayne's greatest joy and he tried to spend as much time with her as possible.

Wayne is survived by his daughter, Jordyn, and her brother, Preston Hovde, both of Fertile, MN; two brothers, Kevin (Diane) and Randy, and three sisters: Deborah "Debbie" Berhow, Carline Berhow, and Darlene (Kevin) Solie, all of Fertile, MN; 11 nephews and nieces and seven great nephews and nieces: Kyle (Fallon) and their children, Leon, Colton, and Seth, Fertile, MN; Alicia (Mike Elbinger) Berhow, and their children: Austin and Mason of Crookston, MN; Krystal (Brandon) Tranby, and their baby girl arriving in October, 2015; Chris Berhow, Travis (Mariah Lunak) Berhow, Katy (Chad Edgar) Rolland all of Fertile, MN; Lacey Berhow and her son, Tristen, Crookston, MN; Tracey Berhow, and her daughter, Courtney, Winger, MN; Kelsey Berhow, Valley City, ND; numerous uncles, aunts, and cousins.
