Sgt. Joseph Clemens Feser, a dedicated soldier from Bismarck, ND, passed away on August 17, 2024, in a motor vehicle accident. He had just returned from deployment in Syria for Operation Inherent Resolve the day before, marking the tragic end to a life full of promise and service, just one day before his 22nd birthday.
Joseph, known for his genuine kindness, infectious laughter, and unwavering love, left a profound impact on everyone who knew him. His vibrant personality and unmistakable voice are fondly remembered by friends, family, and colleagues. The void left by his passing is indescribable, yet those who knew him take solace in celebrating the remarkable life he led.
Returning home with a well-thought-out plan for his future, Joseph had hoped to attend the University of Mary to pursue a degree in psychology. His goal was to become a Mental Health Specialist, a dream driven by his personal struggles with PTSD during his deployment. He aimed to help others overcome challenges, leaving a meaningful impact on countless lives. He also envisioned building a home on his family’s farm in Glen Ullin, a dream now left unfulfilled.
In honor of Joseph’s memory, a fundraiser organized by Lonnie Shereck is raising money for the North Dakota National Guard Emergency Relief Fund, to support military families in need. The fundraiser has so far raised $1,350 out of its $25,000 goal, with donations from individuals such as Colby Jackson, who contributed $500, and Larry Johnson, who gave $200.
On Facebook, Colby Jackson expressed his grief and admiration, reflecting the deep respect and love Joseph garnered during his life. The community’s outpouring of support and condolences highlights the deep connection Joseph had with those around him.
Sgt. Joseph Clemens Feser was awarded numerous military honors, including the Army Service Ribbon, National Defense Service Medal, and the Army Commendation Medal with “C” device, among others, recognizing his bravery and commitment to his country.
As the community mourns this significant loss, we extend our deepest condolences to his parents, Greg and Melissa, his sister Danielle, and all his friends and colleagues. The memory of Joseph’s big heart, beaming smile, and unwavering dedication to helping others will forever be cherished.
