Lance Dean Brunsvold, 68 passed away after a battle with cancer on Wednesday January 22, 2025, in Thailand.

Lance was born on October 21, 1956, to Dean and Luella Brunsvold. His brother Kevin and sister Jill made their family complete. They grew up in Sidney, Montana. He also spent a lot of time on the Brunsvold Family Farm in Squaw Gap.

Lance graduated from Sidney in 1974. He was active in Rodeo Club throughout his school years. Upon graduation, he worked for Sidney Red-E-Mix and enjoyed being there very much.

Lance attended Montana Tech and graduated with a master’s degree in Geophysical Engineering. He worked in Texas, Thailand, and South Vietnam.

Lance married Mary Jo and sons Ryan and Randall Obergfell in 1985. They adopted Grant from Romania in 1991 and had a beautiful daughter, Jade, in 1994. Little Lina was added to the family in 2017 from Bangkok with friend Kannika and son Dan.

Lance loved coming home to see his family in the States on every vacation. His joys were golf, his kids’ sports of rodeo, hockey and softball, hunting, big Ford pickups, his daughter’s wedding and spending time with his granddaughters Annlee and Avaree. His best friend for life was Greg Anderson and they shared many adventures together. Lance had a wonderful sense of humor and a good heart.

Lance joined his mom in heaven on January 22, 2025, after a battle with cancer.

Lance will be missed by his friends around the world, wife of 38 years Mary Jo; their children Ryan Obergfell, Randall (Amber) Obergfell and their daughters, Grant Brunsvold, and Jade Brunsvold (Eric Schultz); brother Kevin (Kathy) Brunsvold and their family; sister Jill (Dick) VandeBossche and their family; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and other family.

I have many fond memories when we lived next door to the Brunsvold family. Lance and I spent many hours playing basketball, baseball, our dads taking Lance, Kevin and me fishing at Gartside, and all the outdoor games with the neighbor kids. Lance was a great friend,and may he rest in peace.

Condolences to all the Brunsvold family in your loss of a father, brother, husband, grandfather and a dear friend. God be with you all.
Lance, I have memories of you from high school rodeo team bareback s and bulls, then working for me as a guide up by Tuchcuk Mtn. On your 21 birthday (you were drinking beer_) I was driving old blue chev pickup, going a little fast when you hollered bear, how that pickup survived going from 30 miles an hour to reverse without stopping but we got him. Didn't hurt the pickup that one was tough. I'll see you some day as I am getting older. Was one heck of a great friend. Thanks Lance

No space can store all the memories about you during the last over 7 years working and relaxing together in and out of office hours in Ho Chi Minh City, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown when you stayed alone without your family. I am certain that you are the person who is dedicated to the work and the man of your family until the last day. I did not know that 4 Jan 2025 was the last time I met you in person. On that day you asked me to keep you updated about Block B regularly and continue working on the sawtooth chart to explain the capacity of the production forecast so that everybody in the team can understand. I completed it on 21 Jan, but I did not have a chance to discuss it with you anymore.

Now you can take a rest, Lance but don’t be surprised when your name still be mentioned in our conversations with huge respect and love. May you rest in peace.

Had many good times at Navatanee golf course with Lance. His quick wit and sense of humor will be truly missed amongst Saturday golf crew. A bit of a coincidence but Lance and I share the same birthday. Deepest condolences from JC and I to all the family. You will be fondly remembered at every opportunity by us Navatanee golfers my friend. Godspeed and RIP Lance.

His kindness and generosity left an indelible mark on our staff, particularly his thoughtful tradition of gifting lucky money during Tet holidays. This gesture, filled with warmth and cultural respect, brought joy to our team year after year and reflected the compassionate spirit he carried in all interactions.

We will always remember Mr. Lance for his gentle demeanor, genuine smiles, and the sense of "family" he cultivated here. His legacy of kindness continues to inspire us, and we hope you find comfort in knowing how deeply he was loved and respected by those around him.
