James A. Busch

James Albert Busch, age 57, of Sutton, ND, died Friday, June 02, 2017, at Griggs County Care Center, Cooperstown, ND, with his sister by his side.

James “Jim” Busch was born November 29, 1959, the son of Rudolph Albert and Donna Marie (Dahm) Busch at Mayville, ND. He graduated from Finley High School in 1978, before attending Wahpeton Trade School for 2 years. Following his time in school, Jim moved to Sutton, ND, where he very much appreciated small town living.

Throughout his life, Jim worked for several area farmers. He enjoyed farming and fixing things, as well as visiting with family and friends. Jim harbored an ice fishing obsession, and loved working outside in his yard and garden. He was an avid woodworker, and recently took up the hobby of raising chickens!

Jim wanted you to know, that “the grumpiest man in Griggs county has passed.”

He is survived by his mother, Donna Marie, Sutton; sister, Karen (Jeff) Nelson, Golden Lake (ND); brother, Bill (Linda) Busch, Medina, ND; two  nephews, Dominic Nelson, (Stephenville), TX, and Anthony (Raven) Nelson, Fargo, ND; two great-nephews, Hilo and Seamus Nelson, Fargo; five cousins, Julie (Joel) Dahl, Vicki (Scott Carlson) Waclawik, Laurie (Rich) Quamme, Mike Dahm, and Mark Gran; two uncles, Gerold Dahm and Roy Dahm; several other cousins; three great-aunts; and his many, very good friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, Rudolph Albert Busch; both sets of grandparents, Hans Dahm, Dena Maggie West Dahm and Albert Busch, and Anna Lambert Busch; three cousins, Dennis Dahm, Pam Reinen, and Janet Gran; his aunt, Wilma, and uncle, Francis Waclawick; and several aunts and uncles.
