CASPER -- A family memorial service for John S. Kvenild, 95, will be conducted following cremation in the mountains of western Wyoming later this month, on a date to be determined.
He died Aug. 3, 2007, at Life Care Center of Casper following a short illness.
He was born Oct. 6, 1911, in Omaha, Neb., to Berger and Margit Tessmann Kvenild shortly after they had emigrated from Norway.
He graduated from high school in Omaha, Neb., and attended the University of Nebraska for one year before taking a job with Standard Timber Co. at its tie camp on Horse Creek, west of Daniel. This is the area where he and his brother spent several summers in their high school days.
During the years with Standard Timber Co., he married Helen Jenkins and then joined the Jenkins family ranching operation west of Big Piney. They divorced in 1957.
He then married Margaret M. Pape. He continued ranching until he sold the ranch in 1966. They retired to Carmel, Calif., near his brother, where they lived until moving back to Wyoming in 2000.
He enjoyed the outdoors all his life -- hunting, fishing, skiing and golfing, all of which he did into his 80s.
Survivors include his sons, J.R Kvenild of Casper and Bill Kvenild of Laramie, and their wives; stepson Spencer Reynolds and his wife of Princeton, N.J.; a sister-in-law; 10 grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his wife; one daughter; his brother; and his parents.
