It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Sigurd “Sonny” Fugelseth, who left us on June 8, 2023. Born on October 2, 1937, in Chicago, IL, Sonny was a man who truly lived life to the fullest and brightened the lives of those around him.
An accomplished supervisor and printer for Century Greeting Cards, Sonny developed a passion for mechanics during his time in the Air Force. This love for repairing machines carried forward throughout his life, earning him the admiration of many. His enthusiasm for fishing led him to become a dedicated member of Salmon Unlimited, and his love for the outdoors was matched only by the love he had for his family and friends.
Sonny is survived by his daughters, Denise Weil and Desiree Gesky; brothers, Ed (Teri) Fugelseth and Robert (Barbra) Fugelseth; sister-in-law, Eileen (Roy – deceased) Fugelseth; grandsons, Cory (Heidi) Ecklund and Cody (Lindsey) Ecklund; great-grandchildren, Leena, Alexander, Annabella, Abigail and Addilyn; sister-in-law, Marion; friend and caregiver, Elaine McLemore; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Sigurd Sr. and Martha Fugelseth; brother, Roy Fugelseth; wife, Annie Fugelseth and ex-wife Carol Tomao; and sister-in-law, Marge.
We encourage everyone to share their fondest memories and upload cherished photos of Sonny to the memorial page, as we come together to celebrate the life of a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on the hearts of those he touched.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 24, 2023, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM at Sonny’s home, 153 Redbird Lane in Mena, Arkansas. Please call his daughter Denise at 224-656-4149 with any questions about the celebration of life.
