Brandon Bail, 48, of Morristown, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, May 16, 2023.
Funeral services for Brandon were held Tuesday, May 23, 2023 at the Calvary Lutheran Church in Lemmon. Burial was at the McIntosh City Cemetery.
Brandon Matthew Bail was born May 4, 1975 to Orville and Margie (Johnson) Bail in Hettinger, ND. He lived his entire life on the family farm southeast of Morristown. He graduated from McIntosh High School in 1994 and worked the family farm alongside his dad, as a third-generation farmer. He enjoyed doing custom harvesting with Woody and Shirley Penor in 1999 and with Justin Campbell in 2004. Brandon said going south on harvest crew was the best paid vacation of his life. It was hard work but fun times and truckloads of memories.
He was united in marriage to Victoria Fawn Marie Brickley in Lemmon on August 20, 2011. They made their home on the family farm with Victoria’s son Gregory Bliss. Two children were born of this union, Maggie in 2010 and Matthew in 2016. Brandon and Victoria took over operation of the family farm in 2015.
He enjoyed helping friends with farm work, including hauling hay, combining, and planting, as well as working cattle. Brandon was very generous with his time and talents, and comedic timing. His quick wit was legendary.
Grateful for having shared his life, his heart, and his humor are his wife Victoria; daughter Maggie; and son Matthew; step-son Gregory; and stepgranddaughter Delilah of Pacific City, OR; sister Barbara Bail of Lino Lakes, MN; special ‘adopted’ mom Barb Campbell; mother-in-law and brothers-inlaw, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Orville and Margie Bail, and his father-in-law, Richard Brickley.
In lieu of flowers a memorial has been established. Evenson-Jensen Funeral Home of Lemmon was in charge of arrangements.
