Micheal James Stegman, 66, of Tower City, ND, born March 21, 1959, in Cavalier ND, left this earthly plane March 20, 2026, peacefully in his sleep at his home. Micheal is a 1978 graduate of Fargo South High School. Micheal will be remembered for the trials and tribulations of his adventurous youth with his best buddy, his brother from another mother! Mike will also be remembered for his friendly and generous spirit. Some would say he would give you the shirt off his back and good Lord he did this numerous times! He loved visiting with everyone and their brother! In his later years you could find him checking out places to cut wood asking farmers and neighbors.

Mike worked farming with a local farmer; with Salon Systems and John Deere; and wrapped up his career at Bobcat in Gwinner. Oh, the stories he could tell you of trying to get to work in Gwinner from Tower City on those nasty snowy winter days, but he usually made his shift!

When retirement day had finally arrived…he enjoyed one glorious year of retirement, 4-wheeling with friends, cutting wood, and sharing his life with his love, his wife of fifteen years Audrey and his/their children as they called them, their beloved pets.

Micheal, you leave with a hole in our hearts, and you will be missed! The heavens have gained a sweet and beloved angel!

Fellowship/Celebrating Micheal’s life will be April 6th from 1:00-3:00 P.M. at the Tower City Community Center
